Literary Arts
The Arts Council is currently expanding our scope of support for the literary arts!
Are you a poet? An author? An avid journaler? We want to hear from you how we can support and expand the opportunities you have in the Red Deer Area.
Currently, we host writing workshops, monthly writer’s open stage nights, and are continuing to build our offerings to include book sales onsite and book launches and literary readings. That's right: if you're a local author, we could offer a physical location for people to purchase hard copies of your work, and may be able to facilitate events to launch your newest release. Interested parties should contact us at
Our Current Literary Programs Include:
- Writes of Winter Story Contest - until January 15th, 2024
- Brave New Words - Monthly, year-round
