For more than two decades, Nelly has been one of music’s most recognizable and versatile superstars. A three-time Grammy Award winner and Diamond-selling artist, he exploded onto the scene in 2000 with Country Grammar, launching an era of crossover dominance that reshaped hip-hop. The title track and “Ride wit Me” became instant classics, but it was 2002’s "Nellyville" that solidified his legacy, producing No. 1 hits “Hot in Herre” and “Dilemma” (featuring Kelly Rowland), along with the smash “Air Force Ones.” Nelly has collaborated and performed with an expansive list of global stars including Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Florida Georgia Line, and T.I., further cementing his reputation as a genre-blending innovator. He also performed as part of the Grammy Awards’ tribute to 50 Years of Hip Hop, underscoring his lasting impact on the culture. With sold-out tours, iconic brand partnerships, and a catalog that continues to resonate across generations, Nelly remains a defining force in music. From St. Louis to the world stage, his high-energy performances and timeless hits prove that his influence isn’t just nostalgic—it’s enduring.

Rooted: A Workshop in Image and Language is an interdisciplinary workshop that invites participants to explore several avenues of their creativity through poetry, watercolor painting, and expressive writing. Moving between poetry, visual art, and personal narrative, the workshop creates an accessible and supportive space for creative expression without requiring prior experience. The session begins with a short poem and a prompt, followed by a brief free write. Participants then transition into painting a watercolor, led by Artful Minds, using simple, guided techniques that emphasize process over perfection. After painting, we will read a second poem and a prompt, and once again, participants will free write. If time allows, we will close the workshop by having those who would like to share one of their two writings read to the group. Participants will leave the workshop with two flash pieces and a completed watercolor painting. Please bring a notebook and writing instrument; all painting tools and materials will be provided along with water and snacks. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
