Book Club @ the Carr

The Arts League of Michigan has just moved into a new home in the former Harmonie Center building, 311 E. Grand River Ave. in downtown Detroit, now known as the Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center. The Carr Center is a state-of-the-art venue for the creation and presentation of the arts, dedicated to the African American experience within our multicultural community.

Motown Writers Network  is proud to be partnering with the Arts League of Michigan, Ladel’s Children’s Books Boutique, InsideOut Literary Arts Project, and the Wayne State Press to bring Detroit a first-of-its kind book club at the Carr, combining literary, visual, and performing arts.

October’s theme is “sharing our stories.” Upcoming events are:

Thursday, October 29, 6:00 p.m.
Motown Writers Network presents member and local author Kateleen Washington. Washington will share the story of her struggle to escape a life of poverty and prostitution in Korea and to come to terms with her past after immigrating to the US.

Managing the Idea Monster by Karen White Owens Posted: 22 Oct 2009 11:57 AM PDT Ideas for new stories pop into my head all the time. Sometimes they slowly creep into my waking moments.
