As the school year comes to end and the days get warmer, we should all remember to keep creative in the coming months! We’re pleased to announce a new summer initiative, START.WRITE.NOW. With tips of things to do, a place to submit and share photos, and the opportunity to contribute to a collaborative story, START.WRITE.NOW is the place to keep the imaginative wheels in your head turning this summer.

Submitting your photos and writing is easy! To share photos of yourself being creative, just follow the simple instructions on http://www.artandwriting.org/startwritenow. Once you share your photos with us on the Flickr group pool, they will automatically show up on the START.WRITE.NOW slideshow. To contribute to the collaborative story, also follow the instructions on the page. Make sure to enter your name, age and location so we know who you are. We already have contributors from across the country! Also check out some of the suggestions of activities to do this summer. Think we’re missing something? Tweet it @artandwriting or share on our Facebook wall. We look forward to seeing what you all come up with!
