Join us for our monthly literary showcase! 21c Louisville is proud to partner with Spalding University’s School of Creative and Professional Writing to present Spalding at 21c: Voice and Vision. This seasonal forum, held on the fourth Thursday of each month, May-August, provides an opportunity for writers to share samples of their work with each other and the public in the context of the cutting-edge contemporary art exhibitions at 21c. Each month will feature a variety of readings by writers from area universities, community writers’ groups, Spalding alumni, and independent writers.

The evening will begin with a few open-mic presentations of 1- to 2-minute readings of works in progress, followed by featured readings. Individuals may sign up for an open-mic presentation on a first-come, first-served basis just before the evening program begins. Open-mic readings should be rehearsed and carefully timed at home not to exceed two minutes.

>RSVP and invite friends via Facebook

And don’t forget, Proof on Main is here for you should the literary endeavors leave you famished after the event.
