Funding is used to present a free, day-long celebration of the literary arts from the center of the state at Real Art Ways on October 5, 2019. Connecticut Literary Festival presents fun, smart, diverse, inclusive, and sometimes irreverent programming celebrating readers, writers, and the written word across four unique experiences: public readings; the Readers’ Marketplace; a performance space; and panel discussions featuring leading thinkers, writers, and educators.
