Join Us for a Night of Bids and Books: Support Local Arts!
At The Inner Loop, we cultivate camaraderie and inclusivity among local writers and those who are lit-curious. Across our five programs, we focus on providing opportunities to connect writers of all backgrounds and stages of their careers with each other and with the broader community, and to connect DC’s denizens (and visitors!) with local writers.
2024 marks our 10-year milestone serving writers and residents in the DC area and beyond. With that, we are thrilled to host The Inner Loop Literary Arts Gala & Auction, a celebration of 10 years of community in writing and an opportunity to raise funds to continue our work for another decade of creating inclusive and accessible opportunities for all writers and lovers of literature.
All proceeds from the auction and event will directly support another decade of building community and spotlighting writers and literature in Washington, D.C.!
Auction Details:
- Auction goes live at 11am on Monday, October 14 and bidding ends at 9:45pm on Saturday, 10/19.
- Bids are unlimited and can be made online or in-person at the event.
- Winners will be announced at the event, and will be emailed with confirmation and delivery information for items.
- All auction bids and purchases are final.
HAPPY BIDDING!
