Arts Initiative's "Arts for All" Events

The Arts Initiative’s "Arts for All" events and workshop series aims to make the arts more accessible to everyone at U-M and throughout the local community. Led by talented teaching artists from the area and region, these events offer opportunities to explore creativity, learn more about art, and discover new artistic skills—all in a supportive and welcoming environment.

No prior experience is needed—everyone is encouraged to participate and experiment freely. Plus, all materials and supplies are provided, so you can simply show up and enjoy the experience!

***No prior experience required, all materials will be provided***

Come together around the fireplace to share a poem you’ve written and gain feedback from other writers. Poet and U-M Anthropology graduate student Caroline New will lead small groups in which each person will read their poem and have a conversation with other writers about their work. This will be a safe space to share, ask questions, and uplift fellow writers in our poetry community. New writers are welcome!
