50th Anniversary of the Writer-in-Residence Program
|
Come “down the rhyming road” to Museum London and the Words Festival for a magical evening of stories, recollections, and performances celebrating the 50th anniversary of the writer-in-residence program hosted by the Department of English and Writing Studies at Western University. Our title is inspired by Professor Larry Garber’s recollection of Margaret Laurence playing word games with his daughter, and it is just one of many personal memories shared by the Western and London communities about the writers-in-residence. We hope you will share your own!
6:00 pm - 7:30: Arrival and pre-reception. Join us in Museum London's Atrium for drinks*, hors d'oeuvres, conversation and more.
7:30 pm: Evening program begins. Drinks* and snacks available. We'll continue to celebrate and reminisce in Museum London's Community Gallery with readings by: Ivan Coyote, Western's Alice Munro Chair in Creativity Matthew Dawkins, Western's student writer-in-residence January Rogers, Western's writer-in-residence ... as well as special reflections on the writer-in-residence program and the student writer-in-residence program, which is celebrating 10 years. *No debit or credit card available; cash only for the bar. Please come prepared. There is active construction around Museum London. For the most up-to-date information and how it impacts parking, see http://museumlondon.ca/visit.
