VCU Glasgow Artists and Writers Workshop: Info Sessions
November 7th, 2007- Information Session
- There will be two general information sessions soon about the VCU Glasgow Artists and Writers Workshop to be held next summer in Scotland. Students with an interest are encouraged to come to one of the two meetings, or to contact Richard Fine (rfine@vcu.edu) in the English department. Date: Tuesday November 13 Time: 2-3:30 PM Place: Hibbs 308 OR Date: Thursday November 15 Time: Noon to 1:30 Place: The Fishbowl (Room 302) Fine Arts Building (1000 W. Broad St.) Offered every other summer, this program brings together participants interested in a range of the arts--literary, visual and performing—in a month-long residence at one of Britain’s premier art schools. Classes and studios take place at the Glasgow School of Art, designed by the renowned Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Participants register for 6-9 upper-level credits from a varied menu of courses. Class size is limited. The program includes special tours of several museums and galleries, theater performances and film screenings, readings by notable British writers, artist talks by Glasgow School of Art faculty, walking tours of Glasgow's architecture, excursions to several sites out of town, and a weekend retreat to Hospitalfield House, a nineteenth-century estate on the east coast of Scotland now used for arts residencies.
