Our Voices: Festival of Words

PEN Miami/South Florida is proud to partner with the Art Prevails Project to present the 2nd Annual Our Voices: Festival of Words. By celebrating literature and uplifting literacy, the event aims to provide the Fort Lauderdale community with an annual space to engage with books and writers. By creating a content-rich environment for all community members, it hopes to impact not only quality of life but also directly combat the cycle of illiteracy. 

With four events over three days, the Our Voices: Festival of Words celebrates the power of words with something everyone can enjoy.
