First Person Arts » Classes and Workshops

First Person Arts believes that everyone has a story worth telling, and that sharing our stories empowers and connects us with each other. To that end, First Person Arts Classes and Workshops offer the opportunity for participants to hone their storytelling skills across artistic genres with leading writers, storytellers and visual artists. We cover many subjects including writing, theater, storytelling, professional development, and performance art.

Is it too late to register for the 2 day workshop? I just read where work needs to be submitted 3 weeks prior to class

It seems there are never any Saturday or Sunday workshops. Weeknights do not work for everyone (ok – me). Do you have any weekend workshops coming up?

I too was wondering if there were any weekend classes. Are they only on the weekday? I am very interested in signing up if classes could fit my schedule.

Thanks!
