This week there will be no list of weekly literary events. Los Angeles Literature is taking its summer break. There are still many literary events to attend and local writers to see read. From bookstores to literary arts organizations, to open mics at various businesses across Greater Los Ángeles. Below is one such event to wet your literary appetite:
Poetry, Paint and Sip at Cafe con Libros – In-Person
If you are looking for a fun and creative evening, joint host James Coats at Cafe con Libros for their Poetry, Paint and Sip event. Unleash your inner artist while enjoying emotive poetry and dreamy wine in a relaxed atomsphere. No experience necessary—our talented instructor will guide you in creating your own work of art. Grab your friends and come paint the night away.
Reserve your spot now and get ready for a night of creativity and laughter. Maybe you’ll be inspired to share a poem of your own.
