Corporate &
In-Kind Sponsorship 

Literary Arts is a community-based nonprofit literary center located in Portland’s Central Eastside with more than a 40-year history of serving Oregon’s readers and writers. We provide 80,000 arts experiences for 43,000 people and reach 155,000 radio listeners each year. 

The unique value of Literary Arts is that our programs build community around literature. We believe that there is an urgent need for us to bring together artists and audiences, students and adults, to share in the stories that tell us who we’ve been, who we are, and who we will be.  

Both cash and in-kind sponsorship opportunities are available through our programming: 

  • Portland Arts & Lectures Series 
  • Portland Book Festival  
  • Special Events 
  • Oregon Book Awards & Fellowships 
  • Writing Classes & Readers Seminars Access Program 
  • The Archive Project  

Our corporate partners play a vital role in helping us celebrate the power of storytelling and bring together readers, writers, and students of all ages and backgrounds. We offer a variety of sponsorship benefits and recognition opportunities to engage with our audiences and participate in our programming.
