WELCOME TO WORDSTOCK 2016 Welcome to the 2016 Wordstock: Portland’s Book Festival! This year is the second year that the festival is presented as a program of Literary Arts, and we are thrilled to present a line-up of some of the most talented and exciting contemporary writers on stage at this year’s festival. While we can’t promise that it won’t rain, we have made a number of improvements to the festival infrastructure, including an expanded festival campus. We return to the Portland Art Museum, and this year’s festival features six new venues on the South Park Blocks, including an expanded children’s stage (schedule p. 11). Also new for this year, SW Park Avenue will be closed to traffic on the festival campus, meaning that there is space for more food carts, a larger box office area to speed entry, bike racks for bike parking, live music with Music on Main, and more room for festival-goers to enjoy the day as they move between the stages. Wordstock: Portland’s Book Festival would not be possible without a community-wide effort. In particular, we would like to thank all of our volunteers, partners, and sponsors.
Wordstock is a celebration of books and reading, a day of lively conversation and intelligent debate, a chance to meet your literary heroes and discover exciting new voices, the opportunity to browse a book fair full of the best of local and regional publishing, and much more. We encourage you to take advantage of the festival day to explore the wide array of events offered, from marquee interviews at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall to free-form pop-up readings in the galleries of the Portland Art Museum. Wordstock is for you. Find your story here. Best wishes,
Andrew Proctor, Executive Director
Amanda Bullock, Director of Public Programs

ABOUT LITERARY ARTS Founded in 1984, Literary Arts is a community-based nonprofit literary organization located in downtown Portland.
Our mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature.
PROGRAMS OF LITERARY ARTS Portland Arts & Lectures brings the world’s most celebrated writers, artists, and thinkers to our community. In addition to events that are broadcast statewide on OPB radio, the program connects readers and writers of all ages with classroom visits and workshops. Our Youth Programs inspire public high school students to write, revise, edit, publish, and perform their own creative writing. The programs reinforce the real world importance of reading and writing in all professions, are designed to meet state and national standards for the arts and language arts, and help schools reach their goals of teaching writing across the disciplines. Oregon Book Awards & Fellowships supports, promotes, and celebrates Oregon’s writers and publishers. In addition to financial support, the program produces the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour, which connects writers and readers throughout the state with readings, classroom visits, and workshops.
Delve Readers Seminars allow readers to explore challenging books with fellow bibliophiles in discussion-based classes under the steady hand of an experienced scholar. Wordstock: Portland’s Book Festival builds community around literature by celebrating writers and readers of all ages through author events, workshops, a book fair, and more.
DONATE TO LITERARY ARTS Help us engage and support thousands of readers and writers of all ages across Oregon. Visit the Literary Arts booth at the festival book fair or visit literary-arts.org/donate and pledge your support today!
