The Word is a transformative literary arts program for New Haven young people. The Word partners experienced teaching poets, award-winning spoken-word artists, and emcees with creative students, teachers, and administrators across the city to equip youth to become stronger poets and culture creators.
WEEKLY WORD WORKSHOPS
COME DROP IN THE WORD @ ARTSPACE
50 ORANGE STREET, NHV
Particularly passionate poets and rappers from New Haven high schools meet two hours one afternoon a week to write, workshop and perform poetry with Word Teaching Artists and special guests, and to organize the Citywide Youth Poetry Jams and satellite events at their sending schools. We are grateful to the Neighborhood Music School for housing this program!
