Literary Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit[1] literary organization based in Portland, Oregon. Their mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature. Their mission's three branches are reflected in three programing areas: reader outreach, supporting writers[2], and exposing youth to literature.
Literary Arts, Inc., sponsors the Oregon Book Awards, Oregon Literary Arts Fellowships[3] and The Portland Arts & Lectures Series.[4] All of Literary Arts' activities emphasize literature and literacy and the importance of books and reading.[citation needed]
Literary Arts also joins with other community organizations in presenting programs, has an active out-reach program and frequently collaborates with other cultural arts organizations[5] in Portland.
A governing Board oversees all programs. Portland Arts & Lectures has an Advisory Council. Assistance and advice on the Oregon literary programs are provided by the Oregon Literary Arts Advisory Council.
History[edit]
Literary Arts began in 1984 as Portland Arts and Lectures, an event series designed to bring leading authors and cultural thinkers to Portland. In 1993 Portland Arts & Lectures merged with the Oregon Institute for Literary Arts (OILA) to become Literary Arts. OILA was dedicated to supporting Oregon’s writers and publishers through grants, awards, and public recognition. The mission of OILA lives on through the Oregon Book Awards and Literary Fellowships program[6], which honors and supports Oregon writers and publishers through fellowships and awards.
