Become. Be Art. Belong. Join the 2026-2028 Altadena Poets Laureate for their kick-off program that will include feature poet readings, a panel & conversation, and writing workshop.

History shows that after a disaster, people choose imagination over resignation. In times like this, artists and poets create expressive work that focuses on witness, celebration, memory, and an invitation to imagine their future. The Altadena Poet Laureate Program will hold a series of six (6) workshops and two (2) open mics for the 2026-2027 season.

Each workshop session will include curated readings, guided writing prompts, discussion, sharing, and support for revision. 

The open mic will feature Altadena poets and poets from across the region and include an open mic sign-up. Open mic sign-ups will be limited due to time. 

Details about the launch event to come.
