Events

Events that Nicole organizes as the Director of Literary Arts at the Springville Center for the Arts are indicated with “SCA.”

.SCA: Writing Group, June 17th, 5-6pm,  Art’s Cafe Library, free

SCA: Writers Open Mic featuring guest artist Karle Norman and musician Stephen Wilger, June 17th, 6-8pm, Art’s Cafe, free

Have you ever wondered what your writing would sound like as a song, or look like as a doodle? Then please join us for this special open mic night! As you read, musician Stephen Wilger will “translate” your piece into music and artist Karle Norman will turn it into a drawing. Plan to read for about five minutes (roughly the length of a song). If you have questions please email scanicole01@gmail.com

SCA: Writing Group, July 8th, 5-6pm, Art’s Cafe library, free

SCA: Prompt party: ekphrastic writing, July 8th, 6-8pm Art’s Cafe, free

This community-based evening will encourage attendees to interact with other writers as well as the art and architecture at Art’s Cafe itself. Ekphrastic writing is a form that engages directly with a piece of visual art; it’s like our Writer Open Mic Nights, but in reverse.

SCA: Writing Group, August 12, 5-6pm, Art’s Cafe Library, free

SCA: Literary and Geography trivia: Where’s Miss Karyn?, August 12, 6-8pm, Art’s Cafe, free

Trivia is back! In honor of our host, questions will all be about children’s literature and geography. Come in stripes (an homage to children’s book traveler Where’s Waldo) for a chance to win an extra prize.
