Empower Voices, One Poetluck at a Time

What is a Poetluck?

Poetluck is where creativity, community, and cuisine come together. 🍽️✨ A fusion of “Poet” and “Potluck,” this cherished tradition is more than just a dinner—it's a celebration of the literary and creative arts, open to writers, podcasters, musicians, storytellers, and those who appreciate them.

Here’s how it works:
🖋️ Bring Your Art – Share a poem, story, song, excerpt, essay, or any creative expression during our open mic session. Each reader has up to 5 minutes to shine.
Bring a Dish – Contribute to the potluck-style meal and enjoy a shared feast with like-minded folks.
🎶 Songwriters Welcome – Play a tune or share your latest lyrics—music and words unite us all.

This 20-year tradition is a cornerstone of The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow, celebrating community and creative expression in a welcoming space.

Sponsorship Goal: Help us reach $4,000 to continue this much-loved tradition of creativity and community!
