Pete Chasar introduced the Pelican Bay Arts Association Writers Group at Manley Art Center. The group leader, Guia Heigert, talked about the group and their projects.

The group has just published a book called "Out of Our Minds", and includes short stories by seven writers. The book is available at Manley Art Center for $10 and ALL proceeds go to a scholarship fund for future writers.

Some of the writers chose a painting as a take off point and created stories that were inspired by the paintings. Others created stories incorporating a list of required words in the story. During Art Walk three of the writers read their stories - all were entertaining and enjoyable.

Matt Brumage read a story that was inspired by this painting by his wife, Erin Brumage.

Pat Malone read a story inspired by a drawing of her canine best friend (picture behind Pat).

Mary Ann Antennuchi gave an animated performance.
