November's just around the corner, friends! Before the holidays ramp up, we're offering an online submission workshop and not one but TWO opportunities to write with others in person (on top of our daily virtual Connect & Writes). Find details at https://www.driftlesswritingcenter.org/events

** This year we're moving "Write More November" to January -- look for our invitation to "Start the Year Write" coming soon!

Have you taken the survey? The Viroqua Arts Council, an emerging organization committed to serving artists and programs that advance arts and culture in Viroqua, seeks your thoughts.

"As a part of our vibrant community, we want to hear from you. This brief survey will offer opportunities for individuals, organizations, and venues to register themselves as a part of our arts directory and asset map, give feedback in shaping priorities, and tell us how we can best connect with our community."
