Join YpsiWrites as we draw inspiration from Art Kane’s A Great Day in Harlem photograph, and Writer of Ypsilanti Debbie Taylor’s book, Sweet Music in Harlem to gather writers, word-lovers, and community members for a photo that celebrates Ypsilanti’s creativity and spirit. YpsiWrites’ is committed to celebrating our “Telling Our Stories” theme this year by inviting all members of the community to gather together to take this photo for posterity. In addition to the photo, we’ll have family-friendly writing activities and will officially announce this year’s “Writer in Residence.” Watch our newsletter and social media for more information.

Saturday, May 3, 2025, 1:00  p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at YDL Michigan Avenue, photo to be taken at 1:30 p.m.
