Unfortunately, due to the ban on large gatherings in response to COVID-19, the 2020 Literary Arts Festival has been cancelled. We very much hope to reschedule for a future time and will provide updates if and when we do.

In the meantime, the LAF Writing Competition is still on. Submissions are closed, but authors of winning submissions will be notified by the end of March and the results announced on our OpenLab site.

Thank you to all of our volunteers, and the many people who were planning on participating in and were actively working to promote the Literary Arts Festival. We hope to be able to announce a new date for the event in the not so distant future.

Hi all,

We had a wonderful Literary Arts Festival event on Thursday, April 19.  Thanks to all who attended, and special thanks to Sean Conrey, guest speaker and poet, who reacquainted everyone with the power of spontaneous creativity via an interactive poetry-writing exercise.

And the winners are…

LAF 2018

Hi all,

Looking forward to seeing you at out Literary Arts Festival this year.  There may have been some confusion about where it’s taking place, so just to clarify, we’ll be in the Atrium Amphitheater in the main City Tech building (300 Jay Street) this year. Please do NOT show up to Voorhees!  See you on Thursday.

Thanks again to everyone who made LAF a huge success this year. It was such a wonderful evening.

And thanks to our amazing photographer, Michael Edwards. Here are just a few of the pictures he took.

Thanks to the City Tech Steppers, Entertainment Tech, and the LAF Team for coming to the dress rehearsal today! You all are so awesome. If you didn’t make it, please try to be there at 4pm (4:30 at the latest) tomorrow. We have a great night planned! Can’t wait to see everyone.

We can’t wait to see all of you there! For volunteers and performers: please come to the rehearsal from 1:30-4pm in Voorhees Theater tomorrow.
