These evenings of generative writing will use a variety of photography exhibitions at Silver Eye as jumping off points to create flash fiction. Silver Eye is a great, cozy gallery perfect for getting some good writing done. We will explore setting, point of view, characterization, and the art of the detail. Sherrie Flick will moderate the programs with mini-lectures from special guests thrown in here and there.

Sherrie Flick is author of the award-winning flash fiction chapbook I Call This Flirting (Flume Press, 2004). Anthologies include Sudden Fiction: The Mammoth Book of Minuscule Fiction (MAMMOTH Press, 2003), Flash Fiction Forward (Norton, 2006), and New Sudden Fiction (Norton, 2007). She has received artist residencies from the Ucross Foundation and Atlantic Center for the Arts, as well as a Tennessee Williams Fellowship from Sewanee Writers‚ Conference. In 2005, she was honored as one of Pittsburgh's "40 under 40." Recently, she was awarded a 2007 Individual Artist Fellowship from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Her interdisciplinary work includes a collaborative exhibition, The Garden Inside, with photographer Sue Abramson and a libretto for Dali's Egg, an experimental opera by Los Angeles composer Nicholas Chase. She is co-founder and artistic director of the Gist Street Reading Series.

This event is supported by a Heinz Endowments Arts Experience Initiative.
