Meet writers of the The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, a residential artist community in nearby Amherst, Virginia. Hear readings from these writers who hail from Virginia, across the country, and around the world at Rapunzel’s Cafe and Bookstore, an eclectic arts venue in Lovingston, Nelson County, during a fun night of poetry and prose. Live music will round out this exciting evening.
