Join us for Aviva Arts’ Third Annual Community Gathering — a celebration of lyricism, community, and creative resilience.


This year’s theme, “Deeper Roots, Wider Branches”, reflects how we continue to grow locally and globally: deepening our roots in the Bay Area while expanding our creative branches worldwide.

Through the power of poetry, we honor the ways art can hold complexity, beauty, and connection — especially in times of change.

Expect:

  • Light bites, drinks, and a special craft cocktail by Pamela Hollings

  • Live and online readings by local and international poets

  • Community poetry-writing activity

  • Raffle prizes

  👜 Everyone attending receives a branded Aviva Arts Tote Bag!
