Introducing a new annual literary symposium
A special thank you to West Elk Community Fund
Stories matter more than ever in these challenging times. That’s why the Blue Sage Center for the Arts in Paonia, Colorado is proud to announce its first annual StoryFest, now in a virtual format. This celebration of wordcraft will provide inspiration and instruction for writers and lovers of literature.
StoryFest leads into the Smithsonian exhibit ‘Crossroads: Changes in Rural America’ coming to Paonia in January 2021, a ‘Museum on Main Street’ exhibition traveling to 30 states.
