You are invited to celebrate San Francisco’s young and emerging artists-writers at Wordstorm 2022!

Join us on the 2nd Floor of the San Francisco Public Library at The Fisher Children’s Center to meet the WritersCorps youth participant-artists, to see and hear their original works.

The WritersCorps teaching artists’ have guided the creative talents of the youth to express literacy and identity- visually and through the power of meaningful words. We welcome community members of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to attend.

The WritersCorps Teaching Artist-in-Residence (WCTAIR) grant program focuses on youth literacy development through creative writing and nurtures the artistic and professional talents of teaching artists through regular cohort meetings over a course of 3 years. WCTAIR artists teach creative writing and foster the talents and literacy of youth through partnerships with schools and community-based organizations (CBOs) and has a history of prioritizing and providing access to LGBTQ+ youth, teenage parents, low-income youth and youth affected by the juvenile justice system.

WordStorm is organized by the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) through WritersCorps Teaching Artist-in-Residence grant program and in collaboration with the San Francisco Public Library.
