Poetic Emergencies is filled with writing prompts to spark your creative voice, elevate your language, and inspire you to write more. This pocket-sized book is the perfect companion to have on you at all times. It is perfect for anyone looking for a spark of something poetic to help capture some fleeting moment of emotion that could flutter away in a fraction of a second. Full of thoughtful idea starters from the journals of author Laura B. Ginsberg, an editor and writing instructor, this book will help you experiment with language and ideas and fill up that stash of gorgeously blank notebooks waiting for your stories.
Flip through the pages and find a phrase or question that snaps together that vague idea in your mind into something with lush potential. Fill the open spaces with your own scribblings and scraps of glittering essence that might just become your next work of art. Carry around that feeling of creative inspiration for those moments when that song, poem, or novel you're working on needs a glimmer of something a little extra.

Such a fun date night. Very helpful and friendly staff. I also bought some prints to bring home. Can't wait to go again soon.
Had a lovely time here with my partner. I love the concept of the place. We especially appreciated that there were art projects available for a variety of skill levels. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. The attached art supply thrift store is very cool too.
Had such an amazing time with my daughter!! So many options for us to choose from. Staff are also encouraging and support you at any skill level :-)
I hosted a small get together for my daughter’s tenth birthday and I couldn’t be happier.
The staff was kind, patient and encouraging. They truly made all of the girls feel comfortable and supported, helping them bring their ideas to life.
I especially loved that each child created something completely unique!
We recently held a team-building event at Asbury Park Art Club and had a fantastic experience. The venue has a cool, artsy seaside vibe and aesthetic that sets a creative tone. Our small group of 7 made Découpage Seashells, which is a seasonal project. Karen and her staff were very attentive throughout the process, providing guidance to our group and ensuring we had everything we needed. It’s the perfect space for a small group seeking a unique experience.
What a wonderful little gem in Asbury Park. We made our crafts and had plenty of encouragement from the owner and staff. I highly recommend this place for a fun afternoon with kids (and not so little kids!)
Local art for sale, art thrift shop & an Art cafe! What a fabulous place! Can’t wait to return with my friends to create our own art!
Read what others are saying - or, if you’ve joined us for an art project, event, or just some spontaneous shopping, we’d love to hear from you.

Had such a fun afternoon crafting with my kids! Jeanette and Skyla were super helpful and knowledgeable. The local art for sale and the art supply thrift shop are fun to see and browse too!
