Winter Writers Open Readings

Literary Arts Talk at Banff Centre

Join us for readings by a variety of writers from Literary Arts' current residency program Winter Writers Retreat, hosted by the talented writer, poet, and faculty-member Nasser Hussain. 

Our writers have been invited to read from previous works, or new work created on site at Banff Centre. Open readings allow program participants to practice reading their written material to an audience, and to showcase their talents to new readers.
