Our literary arts program has been created to provide enthusiasts of the written word a listing of City sponsored literary events throughout the Tri-Valley.
We are pleased to announce our new Pleasanton Teen Poets Laureate: Arany Uthayakumar, a senior at Amador Valley High School and Diana Fu, a senior at Foothill High School. The purpose of the Teen Poet Laureate program is to bring a greater awareness and enjoyment of the literary arts to our schools and community. A number of events are being planned by Arany and Diana at both the high schools.
The Literary Arts Program for the City of Pleasanton is once again searching for two Teen Poet Laureates! We will be selecting one teen from each high school in Pleasanton who will be tasked with helping promote literary arts in Pleasanton, be available for community events where poetry will be used to enhance the event, and have access to some city resources for planning poetry events or programs. For more information see the full details and application form, applications accepted now through August 2nd, 2013.
