Poetry Workshop with Poet Gold

Kids discover the power of their voice in DREAM Out Loud, a poetry workshop led by Poet Gold. Using acrostics and quatrains, children write about their dreams and new beginnings in a poetic style while developing a strong sense of personal identity and creative expression.

The workshop encourages goal-setting, empowerment, and appreciation for spoken-word artistry. By exploring the theme of “New Beginnings,” participants learn how their words can become tools for reflection, connection, and positive social growth—reminding them that they can have influence when their voices are heard.

For children ages 8 and up. This program is included with museum admission.

Registration is required (space is limited).
