Mural
Wednesday May 19, 2010 is a day we'll not soon forget.  Shepard Fairey surprised us with the installation of the stunning mural "Israel/ Palestine Women Writing" on the side of our building.  The size and scope of the mural seems to evoke a response from everyone who looks at it.  Try a ten minute fast write about your reaction to it.  Need more inspiration?  Please come by and see it!  You can play the piano while you're there.

CATCHING UP WITH WWFC...
 
In January 2010, Mary Pierce Brosmer, founder of Women Writing for
Mary Pierce Brosmer and Shepard Fairey
(a) Change,stepped back from holding the center of decision-making and ownership of WWFC, the school, in order to further her vision of creative transformation through the art of writing. Mary continues to be a part of WWFC's vision - the fuller expression of the conscious feminine in the world - through her Consulting for Change practice and in the promotion of her book, Women Writing for a Change: A Guide for Creative Transformation.

WWFC Staff, Faculty, Board Members, Podcast Circle and volunteers are set to take WWFC forward.  We thought you'd be interested in how we're doing, mid-way through 2010.
 
Summer Classes for women and girls brought many new faces to our campus. Young Women's Summer Camps featured our visiting artist, Katherine Meyer, and the girls have produced wonderful pieces of art and writing.  Thanks to grants from the Fine Arts Fund and the Ohio Arts Council, we were able to provide scholarships for 15 girls this summer.
 
We've admired and written about the Shepard Fairey Mural on our outside wall, and had fun with our very own piano for the Play Me I'm Yours Event.
