About

Literary Arts is doing the work and I was so proud to be a part of it. There is a pulse in the communities they’re engaging with – a hunger, a deep gratitude and so much talent finally getting seen and heard. It’s a force for change and wow, how amazing to see that change firsthand.”

Jacqueline Woodson, Portland Arts & Lectures Author

“Literary Arts demolishes walls and builds bridges, clearing the way so that literature can work its special magic.”
