What started with our Writers Salon has grown into something more…
The Adler Arts Center is excited to expand our writing programming beyond the salon experience with new workshops and opportunities for writers to learn, connect, and create together. Whether you’re exploring creative writing for the first time or continuing a lifelong practice, we’re building a welcoming space for literary arts at Adler.
And we’re only getting started — we hope to continue growing our writing offerings in the months ahead.
Shut Up & Write!
Tuesdays, 5:30 - 7:30pm
FREE
Join fellow writers each week to show up, sit down, and get words on the page. No critiques. No sharing. No pressure. Just focused writing time alongside others doing the same. After the session, you’re welcome to stick around to chat, connect, and build your writing community. Wherever you are in your project, you’re not doing it alone—this is your space to write.
