Clouds in Paper: Noticing as a Foundation for Creative Practice

Writers and visual artists: gather your writing or drawing supplies and join poet Brett Warren for a workshop on the role of attention in the creative process. We’ll gather for a short talk about noticing—something anyone can do—and then disperse into the gallery spaces of the Cape Cod Museum of Art. We’ll practice “looking deeply,” taking in sensory details, and capturing whatever unexpected ideas and images arise before we reconvene for optional sharing. Free with museum admission.

BothAnd is a collaborative exhibition of poetry by Brett Warren and visual art by Lauren Wolk that invites viewers to venture beyond the habits of binary, “either/or” thinking and embrace a more expansive “both/and” perspective, one spacious enough even for opposites. BothAnd reflects how those opposites can coexist side by side, interconnected—old and new, broken and whole, birth and death, grief and joy, presence and absence, seen and unseen. The exhibit encourages this perspective through literary and visual images that work both independently and together, inspiring contemplation and discovery of their layered meanings.
