Celebrate a year of inspired writing with OZ Arts and The Porch!

Join us at OZ for a FREE reading event with the 2024-25 Art Wire Fellows. Each writer from the 10-member cohort will have the chance to share poetry and prose sparked by OZ's season of change-making performances, including stunning multimedia, dance, music, and theater from around the world.

A unique collaboration between OZ Arts and The Porch, Art Wire is a fellowship program that allows a cohort of writers to experience performances and respond with original writing that is personal, playful, and deeply engaged. The writers come from a variety of backgrounds and have been mentored through the writing process by Ciona Rouse (award-winning poet and author of the chapbook Vantablack) and Joe Kane (director of The Porch's youth programs).

This is a FREE event, but RSVPs are encouraged due to limited capacity. Complimentary beverages will be provided, including wine for those who are 21+.
