Welcome to the official website for the Literary Arts Festival, a week-long calendar of live events celebrating authors and the transformative power of creative writing in all its diverse forms. All LAF engagements are free of charge and available to the public. Venues this year will be on the Grossmont College campus. To learn more about our Festival's guest authors, events, and venues, click on the calendar below or visit "Events Info" in the menu.
The campus venues where this year's events will be held are circled on the map below. For directions and additional information about visiting the campus, visit "Directions" in the LAF menu.
Our heartfelt thanks also goes out to those patrons and heroes of the literary arts who contributed bountifully to the Foundation for Grossmont and Cuyamaca College’s Creative Writing Fund. We invite you to become one of them through a tax-deductible one-time gift or a monthly contribution to the Creative Writing Fund that will help us continue bringing world class authors and important literary programs into the lives of our students. Click on "Foundation Giving" to go to our donations page on the FGCC website. It's quick, easy, and secure.
