826LA@Hammer: Writing About Art (& Finding It Everywhere!)

You’re never too young to be a cultural critic! Pick a piece of your favorite art and write a review, recommendation, short story, or comic inspired by the different types of art humans interact with each day: Books! Songs! Movies! Video games! Comics! Paintings! Performance! Architecture! And more!

Led by Tierney Finster, a writer and artist from L.A. with work published in the Los Angeles Times, Vice, and more. She also has her own podcast, Tierney Talks.
