This summer, the MFAH hosts its first writing camp for middle-school students. Using the collections and exhibitions of the MFAH as inspiration, this three-day workshop invites students to explore and respond to works of art through creative writing, group conversations, and sketching. Student compositions developed during the workshop will be published on the MFAH website.

The "Looking to Write" program seeks students who are interested in art and writing, or whose relationship with either discipline might develop through a focused experience at the MFAH.
