Call for Entries and more: Women and Creativity 2008

The Rainbow Artists project described in the Call for Entries below is only one of the National Hispanic Cultural Center's many offerings for Women and Creativity 2008.

Partnering with Insituto Cervantes, the March 1-16 event features readings from an anthology, Metamorfosis, published for the event, receptions and a round table discussion.

The Instituto Cervantes in partnership with the National Hispanic Cultural Center held a call for submissions seeking creative writing in Spanish by women for an anthology entitled Metamorfosis. These works reflect experiences of personal, political and other transformations in one’s life and community.  The Metamorfosis project is one of the activities of Women and Creativity 2008 organized by the National Hispanic Cultural Center.  Join us for a tea and roundtable discussion of these works and meet the authors of this compelling anthology.  Please call  724-4777 to RSVP by February 25th. 

Wise Fool is collaborating with HNCC in putting on a special cabaret with the theme "Women & Creativity" and looking for people to put together 5-7 minute acts for a one hour variety show. Past performances include aerials (trapeze, lyra, fabric), dance, theatre, drag, singer/songwriter, music, spoken word, media arts, puppetry etc. It's a lot of fun but calls for a commitment -- contact them if you are interested and feel sure you can do it!
