Join us in the Contemporary Art Gallery as Fayetteville-based writer Jane Blunschi reads work that engages with Smoker #9 by Tom Wesselmann. Become part of the conversation as art, artist, and audience come together to wrestle with the message of a work of art—and what it can mean to the people who view it.
Jane Blunschi’s fiction writing explores issues of spirituality and domesticity through a lens of queerness. She holds an MFA in Fiction Writing from the University of Arkansas. Her collection of stories, Understand Me, Sugar, was published in 2017 by Yellow Flag Press, and her work has appeared in Paper Darts, SmokeLong Quarterly, and Foglifter. Blunschi lives in Fayetteville, ArkansasAdapting Personal Narrative – In this generative class we’ll use prompts based on contemporary memoir and essays to write a short piece of personal narrative, identify emerging themes, and work to hybridize and transform the narrative with strategies rooted in the study of the craft of fiction writing.
