Cultivating & Celebrating
Literary Livingston
Support literary livingston in 2022.
This fall, we hosted three phenomenal guests who gave public lectures and visited Park High classrooms. Community members told spooky stories in front of an audience of 150. Award-winning songwriters John Lowell & Joe Newberry taught a 2-night songwriting workshop. Our teen writing group continues to meet weekly to share and discuss writing. Please consider supporting this work by donating to Elk River Arts & Lectures during your year-end giving.
Lecture Series
Each school year, our lecture series hosts writers, artists, and innovative thinkers who would not otherwise come to Park County. These presenters spend time working with students at Park High School, then give free public lectures.
