Spokane is full of organizations that celebrate books, literature, and the arts! Here are some of our favorite local orgs that host literary events:
And, some of our favorite recurring events:
Speak Easy Open Mic Night
Come enjoy or participate in an open mic night at the Garland Drinkery every Thursday night from 7:00-10:00pm. Sign up to perform spoken word poetry, read an excerpt of short fiction, or something else creative. Each person will be limited to 3 minutes per performance. Please be respectful to everyone attending and know that hate speech will not be tolerated. This is a safe space for people to express creativity and community, not belittle others.
