Literary Arts

Since 1984, Literary Arts has been dedicated to connecting readers and writers through various programs and events. We host the Portland Arts & Lectures series, which brings celebrated writers, artists, and thinkers to our community to discuss their work and contemporary culture. Our initiatives include the Oregon Book Awards, writing classes, and youth programs, all aimed at fostering a love for literature and supporting the literary community. We believe in the power of literature to inspire and transform lives. Through our efforts, we strive to create an inclusive environment that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion in the literary arts. Whether through our bookstore, events, or educational programs, we are committed to nurturing a vibrant literary culture in Portland and beyond.
