gritLIT: Hamitlon's Writers Festival
Submitted by: lucylin |
The goal of the festival is to engage the community in this country’s rich and diverse literary culture and to bring attention to local writers. gritLIT aims to make Hamilton, often thought of as a gritty city, a destination for book loving audiences as well as for authors from coast to coast. gritLIT aims, also, is to bring other members of the Hamilton arts community together in at least one scheduled interdisciplinary event.
The 2008 festival will be gritLIT's fourth.
gritLIT was established in November, 2004, by Hamilton writer and writing teacher Krista Foss. It was, at first, a small, intimate festival, with readings taking place in the Staircase Theatre. Over the past three years and under the leadership of Foss and her successor Rachael Preston, gritLIT has evolved into a larger-scale and wider-reaching endeavor. It has also begun to encompass other arts organizations in the Hamilton community. gritLIT’s recent alliance with the Hamilton Art Gallery, where last year’s readings took place, has given the festival a centralized location and allowed audiences easier access to festival events.
