Word & Image will offer up to 12 selected artists and writers a unique creative experience, one that co-organizers Deborah DeWit and Emily Ransdell call “silent collaboration.” Ransdell said that the project began as a spin-off of the Hoff- man’s weekly Writer’s Lounge, where writers are invited to create short pieces in response to various prompts, often re- sulting in work that surprises the authors themselves. Last summer’s call for submissions was so successful that Ransdell and DeWit will be jurying the entries this year via a blind sub- mission process. The Hoffman’s Word & Image project is open to all art- ists and writers who live on the North coast or have a strong connection to the area. Sub- missions will be accepted from through May 1.
