Students to the Schnitz
Connecting students with world famous authors through live literary events and school visits.
Literary Arts believes that our literary community is stronger with the participation of our youth. By bringing high school students to the concert hall, youth play an active role in our city’s cultural events.

The Students to the Schnitz program gives free tickets and books to public high school students in and around the Portland area. If your school has not yet partnered with us for this program, please reach out to the Director of Youth Programs at olivia@literary-arts.org for availability inquiries.
Please note: At this time, the Students to the Schnitz Program is specifically reserved for public high schools and community organizations that serve high school-aged individuals. If you have questions about your school or community organization’s eligibility, or would like to inquire about group ticket pricing, please contact the Director of Youth Programs at the email address above before filling out this application.
The 2023-24 Students to the Schnitz application has been reopened, and full events are noted. If you are interested in a full event, please fill out the section for that event and you will be added to the waitlist. Events are only full if indicated, though some have very limited availability, and remaining tickets will be first come, first served.

“As someone who loves to read and write this experience was meaningful because I got to hear about the daily struggles of an author and how they think of the world and how they incorporate this into their stories.”
