PEN Literary Safari at Westbeth FRIDAY May 3rd

Explorers may discover a bedside reading, a dinner table discussion or a poet in the elevator at this event where each ticket buyer is given a map and left to roam the halls of the city’s oldest and largest artists community, the notoriously labrinthine Westbeth Artists Housing.

Check in begins at 6:30 pm at Westbeth Gallery 155 Bank Street, between West and Washington Sts.

Readings from 7pm – 9 pm.

Tickets $15/$10 PEN members and students with valid ID. Westbeth residents admitted by donation.
