The Open House will be at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts, 2344 East Iliff Avenue, Denver, CO 80210. [View Map] We’ll convene in the Williams Recital Salon … enjoy some readings, presentations, banter … and afterward—drinks and snacks.

The Open House is free and so is the parking, but we do ask you to register so we can be sure to have enough food and drink on hand. To register, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/professional-creative-writing-open-house-tickets-42911021019?aff=ehomecard.
