The mission of Casa Libre en la Solana, since its inception, has been to support and enhance the creativity of professional and novice writers by providing opportunities for classes, readings, and other types of professional development.
Currently, Casa Libre presents one-time events to support visiting writers traveling with new books, as well as the monthly Fair Weather Reading Series, curated by Casa Libre Executive Director Sally Roundhouse. We are also accepting proposals for new series to be hosted at and/or through Casa Libre. For more information about current programs and what's coming up, click above at "Events" -- and if you're interested in proposing a one-time event or a curated series, click above at "Get Involved."
Historically, Casa Libre has also hosted a residency program, and the current board of directors is working toward reviving this community-growing focus. Among the previous residents and guests who have stayed at Casa Libre we count Camille Dungy, Jena Osman, Don Silver, Geoffrey Young, Ellen Baxt, Robin Blaser, Juliana Spahr, Donald Revell, Frederich Tuten, Norman Austin, Heriberto Yepez, Charles Jensen, Rick Moody, Jessica Berger Gross, Brigit Pegeen Kelly, David Shapiro, William Vandegrift, Diana Delgado, Suzanne Warren, Marcia Reid Marsted, Naomi Alderman, Alexander Cockburn, Lihn Dihn, Brian Turner, Srikanth Reddy, Simon Pettet, Gary Glazner, Olga Broumas, and David Abel. If you were once a resident of Casa Libre or have always wanted to be, we have set up one of our casitas on AirBnB. You can check out the details here. Artist rates are available; for more information on these, please email former Executive Director Kristen Nelson directly at kristenelissanelson@gmail.com.
We have also been proud to present a monthly newsletter written at times by co-founder and former executive director Kristen Nelson, as well as by former assistant director TC Tolbert. For an archive of past newsletters, click here.
And, of course, the community programming that we have offered is broad in scope and has spanned all thirteen years of Casa Libre's presence in Tucson.
