Pickathon is the deep-cut, genre agnostic lineup Portland’s been dreaming of! With a curation focus on new movements in music, this annual outdoor festival at beautiful Pendarvis Farm is always an unbelievable event.
For the second year, Literary Arts is honored to participate by bringing an exciting lineup of Oregon authors for readings on the Windmill Stage, Sunday, August 6 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Featured authors include:

We will also record a live conversation for our radio show and podcast, The Archive Project at The Lucky Barn Sunday, August 6 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. Portland-based author and translator, Daniel Nieh, will lead a wide-ranging conversation with writers Sindya Bhanoo, author of the 2023 Oregon Book Award-winning Seeking Fortune Elsewhere, and Chelsea Bieker, whose most recent book is the collection Heartbroke. The trio will discuss their short story collections, but also their creative processes as writers and artists.
