UPCOMING EVENTS
October is our 2026-2027 Kickoff!
Join us at LA Arts on October 8, 2026, 7-9pm!
Theme: "Visions of Light"
We're kicking off the new season of the corner with an exploration of light (and by contrast, dark). Think about stories where light or dark plays a critical role in how the story unfolds, perhaps itself almost a character in the story. Maybe your story is about an idea that you had that went off like a lightbulb above your head, or a time when dark clouds, figurative or literal, blocked out the light and made it hard to see what came next. "Visions of Light" is the name of the current exhibition of photographs on display at LA Arts by photographer and artist Harold Strout. Consider Harold's words from the exhibition text about light and "how it reveals mood, memory and tone regardless of genre and subject. I invite you to consider the gift of light and how these images may contribute to your own visions."
As always, the themes at The Corner are just a starting point, an opportunity to take a story idea in any direction. Come to The Corner: Come listen. Come tell.
Join us at L/A Arts in Lewiston the 2nd Thursday of each month from 7-9pm

-------
No matter what, you have a story, and the rest of us want to hear it. But don't come to give a general speech about it. Come tell us a story. Think of a specific time in which you figured prominently. Reflect on your story. Have the courage to go back to the emotions, and, most importantly, your vivid memory of the events that caused the emotions. Then, craft your story (here are some tips on how), and come to The Corner ready to tell it. We want to hear it.
(Even if you aren't ready to tell a story, come be part of the audience. We need listeners, too! It's fun! But be aware that some stories may include adult themes and adult language. All potential audience members should use their discretion, especially those who care for young children.)
