Event description
Join Redbud for our first annual Redbud Write In—slumber party style!
Wear your coziest clothes or pjs, adorn yourself with giant scarves like you are in a Hallmark movie, and come on down to the Redbud HQ for an evening of reading, writing, hot cocoa, pizza, snacks, literary themed crafts, and of course—writing and sharing time!
This will be an opportunity to get writing done so bring a writing project to work on…but it will also be an opportunity to eat, drink, craft, and make merry, all while wearing your comfiest pants. What more could one want?
The vibes are slumber party, so you’re are encouraged to bring your pillow, blankets, and/or sleeping bags if you really want to get in the spirit! :)

(A note on pricing: the “true price” reflects the true cost of the class, which includes paying a fair wage to our staff and instructors, rental fees for the Redbud headquarters and for the community spaces where we host our classes, website and administrative/commerce fees, outreach and advertising to spread the word about our offerings, and the coordination and administration for our community classes, which serve people who could not otherwise access creative writing. We’re not a university or a large corporation and that means we don’t have an operating budget we can rely on; we’re proud to be a small, local, women- and minority-run business that is passionate about bringing the transformative power of the arts to our community. Your tuition helps Redbud with the critical work of keeping the arts accessible to the public.
For the pass it on pricing, we will add the donation to our general scholarship fund, which allows us to award scholarships for students who would not be able to afford our classes otherwise. Thank you in advance for considering making a contribution to inclusivity and access!
