LITERARY + THEATRE ARTS
The Creative Arts Guild provides Literary and Theatre Arts opportunities for people of all ages in our community. We are committed to furthering the arts through Literary and Theatre Arts education and performance instruction. Contact Literary Arts Coordinator Dana Shavin at danas@creativeartsguild.org for more information. A minimum of 4 students is required for the class. If this minimum isn't met, the class may be canceled or rescheduled. You will be notified by phone, email, or text.
It has long been a goal for the Creative Arts Guild to have a Literary Arts program, and that goal has finally come to fruition. Our new Literary Arts Coordinator Dana Shavin brings nearly thirty years of writing and publishing experience to the Guild, and she is hard at work organizing exciting writing and publishing workshops, readings, and writing groups for aspiring and established writers in the community, as well as a visiting writer series, author signings, and more, for those interested in all things literary.
Please reach out to Dana at danas@creativeartsguild.org with any questions about Literary Arts at the Guild!
