Lone Glen Celebrates EIGHT YEARS!
January 12, 2019
We are beyond thrilled to celebrate eight years of Lone Glen with Bay Area writers and artists Celeste Chan, Miah Jeffra, Kevin Killian, D.A. Powell, and Monica Tiulescu. Join us at Temescal Art Center in Oakland on Saturday, January 26that 8:15 pm. This anniversary edition of Lone Glen will include cake and wine, as well as a chance for you to meet some new friends. Lone Glen is a quarterly (and sometimes bi-quarterly) reading, art, and performance series dedicated to collaboration and community, often with a focus on the multi-genre experience, and always with a down-to-earth vibe at its heart. In 2011 we held our first reading in our home in the Mission district and have since hosted over fifty local creators, including poets, fiction and nonfiction writers, filmmakers, visual artists, and musicians.
We are a donation-based series. $5-15 suggested donations will be taken at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Temescal Art Center is equipped with wide ramps leading to the entrance, and handrails in the restroom. Find TAC at 511 48th St, Oakland.
