The time is FINALLY near! Our 2023-2024 Riverwards Arts & Letters series comes to a grand finish on November 8, 2024 with the release of THREE new chapbooks published by The Head & The Hand! We’ll have readings, artist talks, libations, chapbooks & prints for sale, and MORE!

About the series:

Over a year ago, H&H piloted a salon series where writers read and artists exhibited with an aim towards sparking collaborations and ultimately creating published works together.

We formed a committee of mentors responsible for nominating local artists and writers and hosted three Salons across five months that showcased twenty Riverwards-connected artists and writers. H&H Books was filled to capacity each salon with all of you who came to witness nights of unique readings and visual exhibitons and celebrate our incredible showcasers.

At the end of those salons, H&H and the committee paired six of the 20 exhibitors into three artist-writer duos for publication. Over the past six months, those duos have collaborated on works of visual-written alchemy in the form of three chapbooks. 

Thank you to our sponsors Penn Treaty Special Services District (PTSSD) and PECO Powering the Arts for making our Riverwards Salon Series possible, and for allowing us to partner with Taller Puertorriqueño. Thank you again to our incredible committee for their immense and invaluable involvement in this project, and to Summer Farah, our valiant chapbook editor; we could not do this without your eye, your encouragement, and your dedication to the vision of each chapbook. We’ll see you in November!
