WRITE YOUR STORYSaturday, May 30, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
G Street Lobby
What makes you uniquely you? In this creative writing workshop, you
will write stories and poems that explore how you see yourself, and
how you connect to your friends, family, and the world around you. We
will draw inspiration from _Outwin 2019: American Portraiture Today_
[https://portraitcompetition.si.edu/], which features 50 artists
responding to the current political and social context in the U.S. and
Puerto Rico, and depicts diverse people and experiences. Open to
participants ages 12-14.
The National Portrait Gallery’s triennial Outwin Boochever Portrait
Competition celebrates excellence in the art of portraiture. It is the
realization of Virginia Outwin Boochever’s gift to the Smithsonian
and the nation, a testament to the transformative power of one
individual to make an impact. Every three years, artists living and
working in the United States are invited by the museum to submit one
of their recent portraits to a panel of experts. The selected artworks
reflect the compelling and diverse approaches contemporary artists are
using to tell the American story through portraiture.
Fee: $12.Open to middle school students (grades 7 & 8).
Please plan to arrive at the 8th and G Street, NW entrance at 9:45am
so we may begin promptly at 10:00am. Because this workshop begins
prior to public hours, those more than 15 minutes late will not be
admitted into the museum.
