2016 Event Guide & Information
Wander from venue to venue. Have a drink. Come hear a playwright, then a poet, then a novelist, and in the process visit a pub, a coffeehouse, the offices of Jacksonville magazine. Buy a t-shirt, nosh on some snacks, and listen to a poet in the shaded back courtyard of a Riverside bungalow. And do it all in any order you want.
Choose your own adventure. At Park & King. In the heart of Riverside.
*Each venue will host two writers who alternate at the half hour. For example, if Emily Dickinson and H.P. Lovecraft share Silver Cow Watering Hole as a venue, Dickinson might perform at 3 pm, Lovecraft at 3:30, Dickinson at 4 pm, and so on.
Also, don't forget the after party at CoRK Arts Disctrict, 2689 Rosselle Street. The 12th of November, 2016. $10 admission.
Eat Southern-inspired delicious grub offered free (and for as long as it lasts!) from FOLKFOOD. Listen to acoustic jazz from the OUIJA BROTHERS and see some of the amazing art created by the CoRK artists.
