Poetry & spoken word showcases at Last Fridays pop-up at <br />v arious v enues around town. <br />Locations will be selected with accessibility in mind, to ensure <br />participants can arriv e to the workshop easily and engage in a <br />manner that prov ides a safe, equitable space for creativ ity. Decision <br />making criteria for HAC programs take into consideration the <br />guidelines for accessibility as outlined by the NC Arts Council <br />accessibilities standards. <br />HAC will lev erage partnerships in the community to host workshops <br />in affordable v enues, as well as some non-traditional locations which <br />can spur greater creativ ity and support innov ativ e writing <br />techniques. For example, an Ekphrastic poetry workshop will include <br />v isits to murals, outdoor spaces, or other works of public art in <br />Hillsborough. Through collaborations with other community groups, <br />poetry workshops will occur in spaces around Hillsborough where <br />arts programming is either lacking or missing all together. <br />W orkshops will be hosted in spaces that prev ent disruption from <br />weather, other community ev ents, or public interference. <br />Some locations where HAC will explore hosting poetry programs <br />include: <br />-Orange County Sportsplex <br />-Dorothy N.
