Join writer April Pameticky for an evening of art and writing! Pameticky will share her experience as WAM’s “Writer in Residence” last summer, including the poems she wrote inspired by works of art in the collection. Then try your hand at writing inspired by art through a guided experience in the galleries. All are welcome – from seasoned writers to those just curious about art and writing.

Mother, wife, teacher, poet. April Pameticky shares time between roles as public school educator and peer facilitator within the creative community of artists and writers in Kansas.  She launched the Wichita Broadside Project and currently serves as editor of Voices of Kansas, an online poetry journal focused on the youth of Kansas. Her latest work, With Concern for How Words Land in the Body, was a semifinalist for the Meadowlark Birdy Poetry Prize. Her first book, Waterbound (2019) is available from Spartan Press.
