Twenty down. Thirty five to go.

The "Helicopter Parenting" theme seemed a perfect (but perhaps somewhat brave) choice for an outing with our eldest daughter, herself a parent and a psychologist who directs the infant and child program at a local non-profit.

Hugo House is a place for writers. It is also a place for all who love the power of language and are energized by the company of writers as they create and share new work. Drawing on a faculty of over forty – each with impressive credentials in writing, teaching and editing – the House offers up
to eighty classes and workshops every quarter on a myriad of topics
designed to help writers generate new work and improve their craft.
The classes and workshops, however, are just the start at Hugo House. An innovative teen program provides opportunities for young writers to find mentors, develop leadership skills, and create and present their work. There are workshops where teachers bring students to the House, and a fellows program to support writers age 35 and younger. In addition to the Literary Series, one can learn writing skills at the Word Works: Writers on Writing events. In the Under the Influence series, you can hear contemporary authors present tributes to their favorite classics. The Cheap Wine and Poetry and Cheap Beer and Prose series pair inexpensive beverages with some priceless writing.
Our night at Hugo House was a perfect example of what I am learning from this project. The arts in our region are full of varied, unexpected and wonderful experiences.
I had no idea.
I had no idea.

Hugo House is planning a move to a new building to be constructed at the current Capitol Hill site. They also offer classes and programs at other partner locations around the city. |
