Literary Arts seeks two interns to assist at @Literary Arts events at our downtown center.
Both internships are five months, from September 2016 to January 2017. These internships will provide practical, hands-on experience in the areas of non-profit arts administration, event production and planning, and writing for social media.

Our mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature. @Literary Arts events are free literary events at our downtown literary center at 925 SW Washington, often produced in collaboration with other organizations. In the past year, we’ve partnered with organizations like Unchaste Readers, Tin House, Portland Poetry Slam, Late Night Library, and Milagro Theatre, to present readings, panel discussions and other literary events.
