We want to help you meet your 2019 writing goals. We'll provide the prompts and the microphone. You bring paper and a favorite writing implement. You get 30 minutes to write and then we share (but only if you want). This is our 4th annual prompt writing January, and we can't wait to see you there.
A group for anyone writing nonfiction or memoir who would like company, support, and, most of all, accountability. Whether you’ve never written a word or you’re a published author, join us!
PDXCC is a monthly gathering where participants make and share analog correspondence in the great mail art tradition of Ray Johnson and Anna Banana: art and conversation through the mail. This uniquely democratic, DIY art form incorporates writing, drawing, collage, rubber stamps, faux postage, decorative tape, typewriters – anything goes, as long as it goes through the mail. Hang out, skill share and send the glorious results through the mail. Monthly events hosted by the Portland chapter of the Correspondence Co-op and Niko Courtelis. Basic materials will be on hand (scissors, glue sticks, envelopes’85), but you’re encouraged to bring whatever materials fuel your creative spirit. Free and open to the public, every third Tuesday of the month

Pacific Northwest College of Art Library will host an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on March 9, 2019, in the Shipley Collins Mediatheque at PNCA from 10am-2:30pm. This event is designed to improve coverage of cis and transgender women, nonbinary folks, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia. The edit-a-thon will include tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, ongoing editing support, reference materials, childcare, and refreshments. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate, particularly trans and cisgender women and nonbinary folks. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as women.
