Performing Arts Center to Host “The Write Place” Festival Friday
October 14, 2014
This Friday, Oct. 17 at the Performing Arts Center, 847 Plant Drive, writers will unite as Georgia Southern’s Department of Writing and Linguistics team up with the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau,
Statesboro magazine and the Averitt Center for the Arts for the city’s fourth annual “The Write Place” Festival featuring critically acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Bragg.
The festival began in 2010 to promote Statesboro as the "write” place for writers and authors to gather for writing workshops and reading events.
"I am so proud that Georgia Southern is once again part of the Write Place Festival," said President Brooks Keel, Ph.D. "As an institution of higher learning and exceptional arts programs, we pride ourselves on being a center for culture and creativity. This festival has become a way to showcase the talented writers we have right here on the Georgia Southern University campus and in the city of Statesboro. This year, we celebrate all of the decorated authors who find inspiration each and every day by living and publishing in cities across the South."
The event begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for the general public, and may be purchased online or at the door.
