Auckland Young Writers Festival

Posted Tuesday 08 Mar 2011

The Young Writers Festival 2011 is an exciting new initiative, celebrating and building the talents of our young writers in poetry, prose and song. This festival spans 10 activations, including 7 free writing workshops in central, north, south, east, and west Auckland. There's something for everyone, right in their neighbourhood. Performance highlights include Maori and Pacific poets: Emerging verse Established at Okai Gallery, and Singer Songwriters at the New Art Gallery. Or head to the launch of the festival on March 22, 5-7pm at Artstation Toi Tu, 1 Ponsonby Road, for a book talk by Ant Sang, poetry by Courtney Meredith, youth musicians, and a wonderful 'art as visual communication' opening exhibition.
Young people interested in attending any of the FREE workshops should email: youngwriters@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
