We have two Teacher Features this week from teaching artists who teach from out of state. One just moved to Minnesota and the other used to stay locally during the summer. Now that we're online, we are psyched that they will still be able to teach with The Muse. Read more about Olivia and Patti and sign up for one of their classes today!

This Friday, Online: Black Stories Matter
We at The Muse stand in solidarity with those outraged by the inequality, pain, and violence caused by systematic racism every day in this country, and we are determined to stand vigilant against it. At this time more than ever, we acknowledge the importance of writing as a way of expressing stories we hold in ourselves and in our communities.

Join us in a space dedicated to the authenticity and power of storytelling. Talented writers Sheila Arnold, Rebekah Coxwell, Desiree Cooper, Lauren Hope, and Synnika Lofton will share presentations focused around their own stories and the current world. We will conclude with a discussion with time for questions. The event will stream live.
