Exercise Your Writes Words and images are two distinct art forms, but together they can create something truly powerful. A story can transport us to another time or place, introduce us to unforgettable characters, challenge what we think we know, or simply offer a moment of escape. Illustration gives those stories another life, while inviting us to see imagined worlds, people, and possibilities in vivid new ways. Join the LAC’s Writers & Illustrators Group for lively discussions about writing, poetry, and illustration. Whether you enjoy reading, writing stories or poems, sketching characters, creating comics, or bringing ideas to life through paint and ink, this welcoming group is for you. Meet fellow writers and illustrators in a friendly, informal roundtable setting. Participants are encouraged to share their work, exchange ideas, offer support, and find inspiration. (Sharing is always optional) Each month, we explore a creative prompt. Use it as inspiration for a short story of approximately 1,000 words, a poem, or an illustration in any style or genre. It is a fun, low-pressure way to try something new, develop your craft, and connect with other creative people. Meeting: Third Thursday of each month, 6:00–8:00 p.m. Location: London Arts Center We look forward to seeing you there. …and yes, there will be snacks.
