The Carnegie Center presents two opportunities for youth to hone their writing skills through the Young Writers Project & Lexington Youth Poet Laureate.
The Young Writers Project invites young women, nonbinary students, and members of historically underrepresented genders in GRADES 9-12 to apply to a FREE series of intensive workshops focused on creative self-expression through writing.
The Lexington Youth Poet Laureate is a FREE program, in partnership with Urban Word NYC and the Kentucky Arts Council, designed to honor young writers and leaders in Kentucky between the ages of 13-18, who are committed to making a civic impact through community engagement utilizing the power of their written and spoken words.
Events, classes, and writing groups. Something for everyone this fall!
Perfect Black: Poetry for the People is a project of the Kentucky Black Writers Collaborative that explores what it means to be Black in all of its richness and complexity. Poems by Black writers can be found throughout Lexington.
Author Talks, Poetry Readings, Open Mics, Book Discussions, Family Fun & Learning Nights, and Gallery Exhibitions are all part of our vibrant arts calendar.
Free classes for members, Monthly Open Mics, and Black&Lit bookclub.
