How it works

We meet one evening a month during the semester. Members present short pieces of new work or research in progress, then the room talks about it. Professors, students, local writers, photographers, artists, curators, editors and designers all come. Anyone curious is welcome.

Gatherings are free. Reserving a seat helps us plan the room.
