On Saturday, February 4, The Word Works, in cooperation with Stanford in Washington, will sponsor a special master class workshop on Gertrude Stein, a unique opportunity to learn about Stein and to be inspired by her work and the work of artists already influenced by this great Modernist.

The 10 am to 5 pm workshop will take place at the Stanford in Washington Art Gallery, 2661 Connecticut Ave NW Washington, DC. The program, which includes an overview of Stein and her work, a curated tour of the exhibition "Insight & Identity: Contemporary Artists and Gertrude Stein," writing time, and an opportunity to share newly created work, will be led by Karren Alenier, author of the libretto "Gertrude Stein Invents a Jump Early On", and Hans Gallas, co-curator of the "Insight & Identity" exhibition.

The program is open to writers of all levels and genres. The cost is $50. Visit http://wordworksbooks.org for more information or call 301-581-9439.
