Double Take: A Spotlight on Student Writing at the Anderson is a public program that highlights Stanford student writers who have responded to artworks on view at the Anderson Collection. The program aims to explore how, when viewed through new creative lenses, engaging with art becomes an act of active interpretation.

Stanford students were invited to submit original written works—including short stories, essays, and poetry—inspired by the museum’s permanent collection.

After review by a small jury of esteemed writers, selected students will perform their work for a public audience at the Anderson Collection on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
