This class is for anyone looking to preserve their memories, whether for personal reflection, to share with loved ones, or to publish. It's ideal whether you've already begun a memoir or are just starting to explore writing about your life.

You'll create a series of vignettes, short scenes or snapshots from your life, written in whatever style speaks to you: prose, poetry, dialogue, or even playwriting. No matter the form, the focus is on translating your thoughts into words, and this class will help you build that essential skill. Over three sessions, you'll respond to writing prompts designed to help you "capture your life" on the page. You'll also have the chance to share your writing, ask questions, and exchange feedback and discoveries with the group.

This class is best suited for beginning and intermediate writers. Each class is designed to be repeatable, offering new prompts and insights each time you take it.

Instructor: Lylanne Musselman is an award-winning poet, playwright, and visual artist whose work spans poetry, drama, and creative nonfiction. Drawing on personal experience, memory, and emotional resilience, she explores themes of caregiving, relationships, and Midwestern life. She is the author of several poetry collections and chapbooks, including "It's Not Love, Unfortunately, Paparazzi for the Birds, Staring Dementia in the Face, and Open Up to Poetry: A Memoir and Manual", with a new collection forthcoming in 2026. Her work has appeared in respected literary journals and anthologies and has earned multiple Pushcart Prize nominations. She serves on the executive board of the Midwest Writers Workshop, teaches at Indiana institutions, and leads workshops and readings across the state.

First Thursday opening reception for Brian Gordy, Watercolors, Thursday, June 4th, 5 - 8 pm

Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company will celebrate the Brink of Summer ArtsWalk with an opening reception for Watercolors by Brian Gordy, one of Indiana’s most accomplished watercolor painters. Brian and his wife Genny Gordy established Gordy Fine Art and Framing and this is his first solo exhibition at the gallery since 2023. Refreshments will be served, and the public is invited to attend.

At 6:15 Gordy will give an informal talk about his work

“Brian Gordy’s paintings remain central to the identity and legacy of this gallery,” said owners Barbara and Carl Schafer. “His work reflects decades of observation of the natural world and a deep understanding of watercolor as a medium.”

A signature member of the American Watercolor Society, Transparent Watercolor Society of America, Watercolor Society of Indiana, and the Red River Watercolor Society, Gordy has exhibited throughout the United States and earned numerous awards for his paintings. His work is included in the permanent collections of Minnetrista, the Sheldon Swope Art Museum, and the Richmond Art Museum. He has also received the designation of Indiana Artisan for his paintings.

Throughout his career, Gordy has painted the rivers, wetlands, forests, and wildlife of the Midwest. His celebrated series of turtle paintings continues to evolve as an exploration of light, movement, resilience, and ecological balance. “The subject of water in nature is an overarching theme in my work,” said Gordy. “I think of it as a theater where reflections, living forms, and shifting surfaces interact in ways that constantly surprise me as a painter.”

The exhibit will be on view with works for sale in the gallery through August 29, 2026.

Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company promotes talented artists, provides appraisals, restores antique frames, and offers expert design and craftsmanship for framing and displaying treasured family possessions and works of art.
