“You can’t drive with the emergency brake on: an evening sampling of Fearless Writing™”

Stories live within us, and want to be told. Sometimes we know this; sometimes there are stories that haven’t yet shown themselves to us. Join us and experience the surprise of your own writing as you discover and release what may be hidden within you. We’ll engage with works of art from the Crystal Bridges collection, as well as Crescent’s unique and disinhibiting there’s-no-way-to-do-it-wrong approach and practices.

All writing materials will be provided, so all you need is openness and enthusiasm. (However, if you have a special notebook or a favorite pen, you’re encouraged to bring them with you.)

Free, tickets required. Register online or call Guest Services at 479.657.2335 to reserve your spot today.

Per the CDC’s updated guidelines, we are now requiring all guests ages 2 and up and staff to wear a face covering indoors and while attending outdoor programs, except while eating or drinking. Masks will be available upon entry for those who do not have one. We will observe social distancing during this program.
