Literary Livingston
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.
Visiting Writers
We bring eminent authors to Park County for extended stays, during which they interact with the public, the local arts community, and regional school children in order to enhance and invigorate the landscape of ideas within our rural community.
Writers Workshop
We bring together some of the most celebrated nature writers in the United States and students who are serious about fostering a connection with the environment in their writing.
