Artists interpret the world through their visual work. Writers also interpret what they see, including works of art. Explore this creative mix by writing in response to art, as a poem, a letter to an artist, or a reflection, in a creative writing workshop with poet Jill Jones, Adjunct Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Adelaide.

An exhibition ticket is included in the cost, suitable for over 16 years and all levels of experience.
Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is also registered for the workshop.
