In September the Loft is all about identity and self-expression! If you’re between the ages of 12 and 18, drop by the Loft @ ImaginOn any time during the month to share a little piece of yourself with other local teens:
Six Word Memoirs
Craft and share your six-word memoir. You’ll have an opportunity to post your memoir throughout the Loft all month long. Need some help coming up with your six-word memoir, check out Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs or ask a Loft Staff Member for help. Here are some of our favorites from the book:
“Mixed blood. I am America’s future.” –Holly Santiago
“I colored outside the lines.” –Jacob Thomas
“Asked to quiet down. Spoke louder.” – Wendy Lee
Share Your Secret!
Have you heard of Post Secret? It’s an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. We’ll be collecting your secret postcards all month in the Loft, so drop by and pick up your blank postcard today. We’ll post all anonymous cards on the bulletin board in the Loft and at the end of the month, we’ll mail all postcards to PostSecret. Find out more about PostSecret.
