20th Anniversary Gala at Busboys & Poets

The D.C. Creative Writing Workshop was formed in early 2000, so 2020 is our 20th anniversary! We held a 20th Anniversary Gala on February 25 at the Anacostia Busboys & Poets. Along with readings and performances from students and Writers-in-Residence, we presented awards to Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White for his longtime support for youth programs and to well-known D.C. poet and arts educator Kenneth Carroll who helped create our program years ago.
