MindSprouts Showcase

The Ren’s annual MindSprouts Creative Writing contest invites students to submit one composition in one or more of the following categories: short story, play, or poem based upon a chosen theme. Top entries from each grade band in the MindSprouts contest are submitted for judging, then adapted for the stage and showcased at the Renaissance in May 2023. The program also provides the opportunity for K-12 teachers to schedule a free in-class, “jump start” workshop with Renaissance Teaching Artist Dauphne Maloney, trained by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. MindSprouts is a part of the Mechanics Bank Education Series.
