| Description: | The Split Rock Arts Program is the University of Minnesota's summer series of workshops in creative writing, visual art, and design. Held on the Twin Cities' campus and at the University's Cloquet Forestry Center in northern Minnesota, the 25-year-old program is a popular destination because of its promise of intensive study with outstanding writers and artists from around the world. Topics for the three-day and weeklong writing workshops vary, and include poetry, short fiction, novel, memoir, personal essay, literary journalism, and special writing topics. All workshops allow for significant one-to-one contact between participant and instructor. Twin Cities workshops are host to popular series of open mics and Soirées, and Forestry Center workshops offer a retreat-style atmosphere in which the serenity of the natural world is central to the week's creative work. No prerequisites. Graduate/Undergraduate credit and scholarships available. Registration opens in February 2008. Can't make it to Split Rock?
