Raindate: September 28, 2024

*Note: This event will be held on Huguenot Street outside 18 Broadhead Ave. Pre-registration is required.

The Hudson Valley Writing Project invites community members to explore the local history and natural beauty of New Paltz together, writing and sharing along the way.

HVWP teachers will guide small groups to select places on Huguenot Street, introducing prompts to engage writers in observation, writing, and reflection. We will write in short rounds, drawing inspiration from our surroundings and our fellow writers. We will close the morning with a celebratory reading.

Saturday Seminars are an opportunity for teaching professionals, candidates, and students to brush up on key classroom skills while learning practices and methods from colleagues in the field. HVWP holds 4-6 Saturday Seminars each year during the fall, winter, and spring.

Saturday Seminars regularly feature our Institute cohort members leading small, practical workshops tailored around a theme or concept, often led by interactive keynotes from respected leaders in the field.
