Write Out Loud is thrilled to share the launch event to kick off the National Endowment for the Arts BIG READ in San Diego for 2023/24! Through this program, San Diego will Read and Celebrate the novel "CIRCE" by Madeleine Miller. The FREE launch event will take place at the San Diego Public Library in the Neil Morgan Auditorium on October 17th at 6:00 pm. Attendees will enjoy readings of excerpts from "CIRCE", a satirical performance of "Pyramus and Thisbe", the announcement of a “myth” writing contest and free books for the first 20 registered attendees.
Focusing on the novel "CIRCE" by Madeleine Miller, this program will impact 4,500+ San Diegans. An initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, the NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the power of a shared reading experience.
NEA Big Read activities with San Diego students have begun and community wide events will take place through the month of April 2024, including a student awards presentation of THE NEA BIG READ - Read Imagine Create. This awards presentation will feature student projects inspired by CIRCE by Madeleine Miller and Edith Hamilton’s MYTHOLOGY - the middle school selection. There is still time to participate. Additional NEA Big Read activities taking place across San Diego in April 2024 include book discussions, a writing contest, presentations of Myths and Legends, visual art displays and discussions about the power of women.
