826LA@Hammer: Pitch and Write! My First Opinion Piece: A Workshop for Kids Who Have Something to Say
- This is a past program
Hone your writing skills into an op-ed format and establish an authoritative voice that demands attention. With so much proverbial noise from AI generated content, bots, and constant social media chatter, knowing how to think critically and communicate clearly and from the heart will be the secret weapon for the leaders of tomorrow.
Led by Ralinda Harvey Smith, a writer whose opinions and essays have been published in Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Huffington Post. Her upcoming gift book Free Pass to Order Pizza for the Kids, published by Chronicle Books, is due to be released this fall.
All public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from an anonymous donor.
Major support is provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, and the Elizabeth Bixby Janeway Foundation. Additional support is provided by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and all Hammer members.
Digital presentation of Hammer public programs is made possible by The Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.
Hammer public programs are presented online in partnership with the #KeepThePromise campaign—a movement promoting social justice and human rights through the arts.
Academic Programs at the Hammer Museum are supported by the Elizabeth Bixby Janeway Foundation, the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation, and the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation. Additional support is provided by The Brotman Foundation of California, City National Bank, McCrea Foundation, Ellen & Teddy Schwarzman, Jay Meredith Stein & Josh Zwass, and friends of the Hammer Museum's Kids Art Museum Project (K.A.M.P.).
