MANZANITA — Submissions
open Friday, April 1, for Word
& Image, a summer exhibit at
the Hoffman Center for the Arts
in Manzanita which will pair
artists and writers to create orig-
inal work, each in response to
the other’s.
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. Selected artists
and writers will be paired at a
kick-off gathering on June 4,
