Reception & Book Sales
A Meet & Greet Reception will take place Friday, April 5th, 2024 from 5pm to 7pm in the Richard Low Evans Gallery at the Art Center, home to the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association.
This event is open to the public and allows for attendees to network and meet with conference speakers, conference attendees, and the community. In an effort to promote the literary pursuits of the poets and writers in our community, our Annual Blue Ridge Writers' Conference will provide an opportunity for participating authors to interact with the public.
