View all Southern Oregon Artists Resource's posts. About the author: SOAR: The Southern Oregon Artist's Resource is a directory of Southern Oregon artists, artisans and those who serve them and calendar of their art events, and Art Matters!, our blog posting Southern Oregon art events and matters of interest to artists, enthusiasts and patrons of the arts near and far. SOAR was created and is maintained by art advocate and web designer Hannah West in Jacksonville, Oregon to promote our diverse and talented arts community to our visitors and the rest of the world.
SOAR is delighted to welcome its newest member, Writers’ Room Workshops. Writers’ Room Workshops provide a unique opportunity for creative exploration. Workshops are led in the Amherst Writers and Artists method and are centered on the tenets that everyone has a creative voice and a story to tell. You can find their new listing HERE!
Writers’ Room Workshops provide a fun, supportive environment in which participants generate new writing and receive useful feedback. Participants write to a wide variety of prompts and have the opportunity to share their work. Hearing specifically what is working in their writing allows writers to build on their strengths as they grow in their craft. Designed for novice and experienced writers alike, Writers’ Room Workshops create a space in which to explore your creative voice.
A five-session workshop series begins March 26th. For more information and to register, visit writersroomworkshops.com.
To accommodate the Writers’ Room’s new listing, we added a completely new category to the directory site, Literary Arts! Even with the addition of some existing members who are also writers and/or poets, the new category only has a few listings, so writers, authors and poets are all on one page for now. Please share with your creative writing friends and when there are enough listings we’ll add a new page so writers and poets will be listed separately. If you are an artist AND a writer and are currently listed with SOAR, please let us know if you would like to be added to this new category.
We have also added the Writers’ Room Workshops’ blog feed to Art Matters! ~ Look for new posts from the Writers’ Room and learn more about the valuable service they offer for writers seeking to explore their creativity in community with other writers!

Pat Schneider writes, in her book Writing Alone and with Others:
“Writing is an act of communication. As a writer/artist, you give your art into the mind of your reader or listener when you read your work to someone else, or allow it to be read. It is received; you have communicated. That is the fundamental work of the artist.”
When writers work only in isolation, without anyone to receive our writing, we are not able to complete our work as artists. The act of storytelling is like a circuit. We must have a listener/reader to connect the circuit and complete the work.
A writing group can be a safe, productive place to practice this act of communication. Listening to each other’s work allows us to complete the circuit and grow as artists.
