No Fest: Poetry Marathon Fundraiser
Sunday, November 15, 12:00-9:00 PM PT
In Person at Beyond Baroque & Live on YouTube
Join us for a full day of poetry, books, and community in support of Beyond Baroque’s mission to sustain literary and artistic experimentation in Los Angeles and beyond! This year’s fundraiser is especially vital. Following the loss of our NEA grant earlier this year—which has limited our programming and canceled the Southern California Poetry Festival—we are calling on our community to help us continue providing a home for writers and artists.
The day features a Book Fair in the Poets’ Garden, an Open Mic in the Community Garden, and featured readings and supporters from the Beyond Baroque family in The Wanda Coleman Theater. Each segment will spotlight a different theme reflecting our values and community spirit. Tickets are available for individual segments—or you can experience the full day of readings with an all-day No Fest pass.
