After five years, Seattle Arts & Lectures is returning to an in-person luncheon fundraiser to support Writers in the Schools (WITS)!
Please join us on Friday, October 17 for our 2025 Back-to-School Luncheon and help support thousands of K-12 public school students in developing their creative voice!
Funds raised from the luncheon supports SAL’s Writers in the Schools (WITS) program as well as SAL’s mission of cultivating spaces of creative expression for the next generation of writers and readers. WITS is a youth program of Seattle Arts & Lectures that connects professional, Seattle-based writers with K-12 public school classrooms to elevate and amplify the voices of over 6,000 students throughout the region.
Come hear firsthand from and be inspired by students, teachers, WITS writers-in-residence, and a special guest author as they speak to the importance of youth arts education.
Admission is free, but registration is required. Please register by Friday, October 3.
During the luncheon, all guests will be invited to make a donation to support WITS.
