Calling all writers of fiction, screenplays, poetry, etc. Get feedback on your writing in a fun, supportive environment! The Central Library Creative Writing Group meets every other Saturday for fellowship, feedback, and snacks. Meetings start out with a short writing prompt exercise, then writers are invited to share up to five pages of their work for feedback from the group. Whether you are just starting out or well on your way to glory, join us and banish (at least temporarily) those Lonely Writer Blues!

Please RSVP by emailing fiction@lapl.org.

On Sunday, May 4, 2025, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., join the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (LAMAG) for a community gathering where participants are invited to reflect on what is flourishing in their lives through a collective walk along a labyrinth installation inspired by Danila Cervantes’ spiraling animations and cycles of life and death explored in their work. The experience culminates in an art-making activity where folks will craft personal illustrations on traditional amate paper using a variety of materials to express what they hope to nurture and celebrate in their lives. We hope this experience will leave you with seeds of inspiration and appreciation for what is already present and blooming in your life.

This event is free and open to all ages of the community. Let LAMAG know you’re attending, RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/danila-cervantes-floreciendo-juntos-tickets-1320524788189?aff=oddtdtcreator.

As part of Suhn Lee: Memento Mori, visitors are invited to participate in Stitching Grief, Folding Memories, a quiet, drop-in art-making space that reflects themes of memory, grief, and transformation. Designed to be meditative and open-ended, this program encourages visitors, at all ages and walks of life, to take part at their own pace—whether for a few minutes or a longer stay. The artist will be present periodically to provide demonstrations and guidance on two reflective activities:

Embroidered Memories
Use thread, beads, and fabric to create small embroidered pieces within embroidery hoops. Choose from patterned guides or design freely. These small patches of remembrance will become part of a collaborative textile work by the artist.

Origami Notes
Write a note on the back of origami paper to someone you’ve lost—through death, distance, or time. Notes will be collected in a box and later folded by the artist into cranes, with fragments of the writing visible but obscured, preserving both privacy and emotion in form.

This is a self-guided, introspective space open to all. Materials will be provided.

This event is free and open to the public, on Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m., in the Pine Grove at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (LAMAG).

The Stringed Crane Conservatory is thrilled to invite you to join us for a very special two-part vocal workshop series with extraordinary vocalist, composer, scholar, and teacher, Jessika Kenney. The workshop series takes place Saturday, April 26 from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m., at Stringed Crane Conservatory.

These two independent yet related workshops will be based in multi-lingual and era-spanning poetic selections and will involve exercises in singing and breathing that play with the awareness of pulse! Geared for all participants who love to use their voices, this will be a unique opportunity to encounter musical and poetic experimentation through the body, the flesh, and shared personhood. An RSVP is required, space is limited. Suggested donation of $20 is appreciated.
