Writer's Eye Competition Begins
News from U.Va. Art Museum:
The University of Virginia Art Museum is holding its 22nd annual Writer’s Eye program, a literary competition based on 20 artworks selected from the museum’s permanent collection and visiting exhibitions.
The competition will be judged in four categories: grades three to five, six to eight, nine to 12 and adult. Entrants view the 20 Writer’s Eye art selections then write an original story or poem inspired by one of the works.
Writer’s Eye group tours at the museum begin Oct. 21, and contest entries must be submitted by Dec. 12. Visitors can take self-guided tours of the Writer’s Eye selections during the museum’s public hours noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Docent-led group tours designed for school classes and other community groups are available by appointment Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as well as at selected times on weekends.
