thank you to everyone who came to our off the wall litcrawl event on saturday!

we had the honor of hearing off the wall read aloud by Theodore Taylor III, creating an original character drawing together, and partaking in a mural tour of the carytown parking garage, where we got to see some more of his art along with many others!

(a special shout out to all who braved the heat with us outside) 🥵

thank you to James River Writers for organizing such a wonderful day of events and Theodore Taylor III for sharing your art with us! 📚
