Shakerag Workshops, an adult arts program, will begin its 13th season this month at St. Andrew's-Sewanee School, 290 Quintard Road in Sewanee, Tenn.
The two weeklong workshops, June 12-18 and June 19-25, are expected to attract 150 participants from across the United States, drawn by the program's reputation for creativity, instruction, artistic fellowship and gourmet meals.
While the sessions are open only to registrants, there are artist talks each evening at 7:15 p.m. CDT in McCrory Hall that anyone may attend, and the Shakerag Lecture Series brings in guest speakers on the two Wednesday evenings. The free lectures start at 7:30 p.m. CDT in McCrory Hall and are followed by receptions in Simmonds Hall to honor the week's faculty.
This year's lecturers are Nancy Vienneau, food blogger, former restaurant critic for The Tennessean and author of "Third Thursday Community Potluck Cookbook," on Wednesday, June 15, and the founders of Chattanooga's UnFoundation, an organization that cuts the red tape for funding entrepreneurial ventures, on Wednesday, June 22.
