ACW GOES DIGITAL
Well, life gave us lemons, and it’s time to make lemonade. All in-person events are postponed, but ACW still has lots to offer online for you during this tense time. These offerings are designed to be interactive and accessible and to inspire you to create, chat, and read. ACW programs have gone digital for you, give now as you enjoy the new offerings. Stay safe and be well, ACW

YOU MIGHT BE AT HOME, BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
What remains during these tense times is ACW’s commitment to building spaces for healing together. Through weekly writing prompts and posted responses, new online classes, and the online display of PoemVillage, ACW is continuing to bring together community members like you during isolation and uncertainty.
Keeping ACW strong in these tense times now rests on the shoulders of faithful supporters like you. So, you are invited to give a gift of any amount. The recommended gift is just $5 a month. All gifts are significant in keeping ACW alive and well, so when this is all over ACW will be ready to re-launch the important programming you count on.
