Whether writing about our companion animals or about wild places, portraying nature and non-human animals requires honing our senses and deepening our empathy. In this three-hour workshop, we’ll look at the role of nature and non-human animals in stories and learn how to render both with compassion and authenticity. Through examples and writing prompts, we’ll examine ways you can reveal the natural world in your writing, including establishing setting, doing research, and capturing sensory detail. We’ll also look at how to authentically portray non-human animals in ways that honor their individuality and true selves. This workshop is for all writers who love the natural world and would like to incorporate its wonders into their work. Register for the event on our website page.

San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery is honored to present the first exhibit of the school year: "Clothes Story," envisioned and curated by Atlanta based designer Kenneth Green. This exhibition celebrates the lives and contributions of African American women by carefully replicating over thirty garments and fashion accessories that represent what women wore in historical periods ranging from 1890 to 1963. Every dress, coat or cloak in Clothes Story has a unique story to tell, whether revealing details about the maker, providing information about the historical context or teaching us about the person who wore it. Through fashion, the narratives shared in this exhibition come alive. The engaging display takes the viewer on a journey through time, inviting them to experience women’s lives at home and in their communities and capturing historical moments that showcase the African American female experience and acknowledge their resilience, strength, bravery, courage, and unapologetic spirit for change. With appreciation to The Hervey Family Fund at the San Diego Foundation whose generosity helps illuminate these stories. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art. Join us for the reception on Saturday, September 6, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Exhibition is on view from August 25 to October 16, 2025. Gallery Hours: M, T, W, TH, 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. (Or by appointment.)
