Get ready for an evening of gloriously off-the-wall holiday cheer, because the Kitschmas Pageant is BACK and bigger, brighter, and more bonkers than ever. On Friday, December 5, Project [BLANK] teams up with the Athenaeum and San Diego’s legendary art duo Brian & Ryan for a one-night-only, celebration that kicks off their 10th Annual Kitschmas Exhibition! Whether you’re a true tinsel-lover or a holiday skeptic, "It’s Kitschmastime Again!" is a family-friendly extravaganza that promises to send you home grinning and ready to deck the halls with reckless abandon. Expect singing trees, mutant gingerbreads, puppets, krakens, noodle dances, and a forecast that includes an unexpected chance of snow. Arrive early to make ornaments, decorate cookies, sip festive drinks, and immerse yourself in a fantastically plastic winter wonderland. Rounding out the Pageant is a merry band of special guests—Cheyenne Avila, Charles Black, Joe Cantrell, Yvette Dibos, Víctor de la Fuente, Teri Hughes-Oelrich, Moni Light, and Michelle Montjoy—coming together to make this Kitschmas the most joyful and delightfully unhinged yet.

Discover how sensory details can elevate your writing from ordinary to extraordinary in this lecture and workshop. Through immersive exercises focusing on each of the five senses, followed by practical editing techniques, you’ll learn to craft vivid, evocative descriptions and master the art of selective prose. Sensory details can transform a story from something mundane into something truly beautiful, but they can also be easily overwritten. In this lecture, we practice writing about each of our senses in turn, then discuss how to edit so that only the most compelling descriptions remain in our final draft.
