Join writer April Pameticky for an evening of art and writing! Pameticky will share her poems 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.
