Each June, Sharon Dolin leads a small group workshop called Writing About Art in Barcelona. 

This intensive workshop provides a small group of writers the opportunity to respond in poetry and prose to the rich cultural heritage of Barcelona.

The 2019 theme is the Jewish Culture and Heritage of Catalonia, with projected tours of the Jewish quarter (call) in Barcelona and Girona, a specially prepared Sephardic meal, Friday evening Shabbat services and dinner, as well as visits to the Picasso Museum, Miró Museum, Antoni Gaudí's Parc Güell, and one of Gaudí's houses. 

Writers have the opportunity explore a very walkable city as well as free time to write. 

This intimate workshop/tour is limited to 10 people.

Writing About Art in Barcelona changed my life! I got to live like a local while bonding with other poets, and I made use of its fantastic location to soak up as much culture, history and art as I could.—2017 participant

Sharon Dolin is a broadminded—and -hearted—workshop leader and guide. I have a new sensitivity and concrete approaches for understanding and generating poetry.—2016 participant

The collision of art, architecture, and poetry gave me the artistic inspiration and emotional space to do some of my best work. I want to do it again!—2015 participant


I LOVED Barcelona & I LOVED the workshop. One of Sharon Dolin's great gifts is her ability to attract people who are really serious about writing & who will work harmoniously & creatively towards making good poetry.—2014 participant
