Literary Arts is a nonprofit literary organization based here in Portland. Their mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature.  Senior Artistic Director Amanda Bullock joined PRP for our latest Community Voices episode to give us an inside look at the organizations programs, platforms and recent successes.

Literary Arts has built community around literature, books, and storytelling, and the essential ideas and issues they raise. With their tagline “Find Your Story Here”, they aim to ensure there is a space for youth programs, writing classes, readers seminars and so much more. Their bookstore brings with it the opportunity for those looking to just simply pick up their next great read, to also experience and learn about our local literary community.

Please take a few moments to listen to our conversation with Amanda – it is so impressive what Literary Arts has accomplished in its mere 40 years –  and find an upcoming writing and reading event that peeks your interest. Many are not only free but very likely to help YOU find YOUR story.
