It’s difficult to describe the artistic synergy that existed in a room full of artists gathered to empower one another. It was an inspiring and nurturing event… like learning the facts of life from your big sister or brother. You had to be there, you should have been there… if you weren’t here’s a glimpse of what you missed… (more…)

From personal works to assignments to scholarship & grant applications, artists write.   Sometimes, it’s helpful to have another set of eyes to help copy-edit and review what you’ve written.

Did you know that Columbia University offers a free-to-students center for just such a purpose?  The Columbia University Writing Center, part of the Undergraduate Writing Program (UWP), is designed to help students develop their writing, from nearly-completed works to works-in progress to scholarship and grant applications.
