Join us for our 10-Year Anniversary Gala celebrating 10 years of creating a confluence of conscious, connected community through writing.Celebrate 10 Years of Community, Creativity, and Connection!
Join us for an unforgettable evening at our 10th Anniversary Gala—a fundraiser celebrating a decade of empowering voices and building community through the art and practice of writing in Jacksonville, Florida.
Since our first writing circle around Jennifer’s dining room table in 2014, we’ve connected and supported thousands of writers, artists, and community members across Jacksonville. It’s been a confluence —a place where many tributaries, ideas, and voices have come together. Now, we’re gathering at the beautiful Riverside House to honor this river of shared voices, stories, and dreams.
Suggested Attire: Cocktail attire suggested; or, come dressed as your favorite Anthology cover, your favorite author, OR your favorite book cover. (Vintage finds highly encouraged)
