Founded in 1984, Literary Arts is a community-based nonprofit literary organization with a national reputation for serving readers and writers. Our office and event space are located in downtown Portland. Our programs include Portland Arts & Lectures at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, one of the country's largest lecture series; Oregon Book Awards & Fellowships, which celebrates Oregon's writers and independent publishers; Writers in the Schools, which hires professional writers to teach semester-long creative writing workshops in Portland's public high schools; and Wordstock: Portland's Book Festival, which builds community around literature through author events, workshops, a book fair, and more. We also host guided discussion groups around great works of literature through a program called Delve.

Our mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature.
