About the Event

260 Poetry is a community-rooted creative program that uses spoken word and sound to support mental well-being, self-expression, and meaningful connection.

Rooted in the values of words, community, and expression, the program brings together poets, listeners, and artists in an open space that encourages honest storytelling and artistic freedom.

Chapter 3 continues this journey — offering an immersive evening that blends poetry, conversation, and curated experiences in an ambient outdoor setting. Whether you're stepping on stage or taking it all in, this gathering invites you to connect through shared expression.
