LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Arts Council has successfully renewed a grant that supports the free public writing workshop offered monthly in Lakeport.
The workshops take place beginning at 6:30 p.m. the first Thursday of each month at the Main Street Art Gallery, 325 N. Main St.
This grant allows Poets and Writers, a national organization that supports working writers, to fund former Lake County Poet Laureate Mary McMillan who facilitates the workshop.
Residents from all over Lake County attend the Writers Circle and join other writers who share memoirs, fiction, essays or poems they have written – or just listen and get inspired.
Aged 19 to 90, some people come only one or two times, and others show up every month.
Poets and Writers provides this funding through a grant it has received from the James Irvine Foundation.

UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Awardwinning composer and professor Clovice A. Lewis will be performing on cello at Lake County Wine Studio from 5 to 6:30 p.m. during the art and wine reception on Friday, June 6.
When he was 17 years old Lewis composed his first symphony, “Portraits of the Gulfcoast.” The piece was performed by the Gulfcoast Symphony Orchestra under the direction of James Shannon as part of their Bicentennial salute to American Composers.
At the age of 22, he was appointed as an associate professor of computer music at the University of California in Santa Barbara and founded Technology Media Enterprises in 1984, a consulting firm which specializes in the creation of all aspects of multimedia production.
The music Lewis has composed has been performed by numerous orchestras in California, including a Concerto for Trumpets and Orchestra, a Poem for Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra, and a Multi-Media Cantata for Soprano Voice.
He is the recipient of numerous awards for composition, including the 1985 Cabrillo Music Festival award for outstanding composition for a string quartet composed in 1976.
Lewis teaches both composition and cello at the Ukiah School of Music. He also is the president and principal instructor at Akolouthia Institute, a private college teaching 3D modeling, animation, game design, computer programming, and app development in Lake and Mendocino counties.
