Readings & Special Events

Each week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., there will be a reading featuring members of our core and guest faculty. With writers coming from coast to coast, and everywhere in between and beyond, to share their craft, this is an exciting time to see what is happening in contemporary literary culture.

All of the following readings and events are open to the public. All student and faculty readings will be held in the Performing Arts Center at Naropa University's Arapahoe Campus, 2130 Arapahoe Avenue in Boulder. Ticket prices for faculty readings are $6 for the general public, $4 for Naropa students/staff/alumni and free for SWP students registered for the week. All student readings and performance salons are free of charge.
