Event Details

Stuck in your writing? In need of a little more time or inspiration? Writing & Jazz at The Faight makes space for you to get out of your head and onto the page. Each night includes a series of visual prompts that lead you toward new creative choices in your work, and the chance to experiment with different styles of writing.

Write something new, continue a work-in-progress, or see where the evening takes you. All genres welcome, no experience necessary.

Following the event, join us downstairs for Sound Pour at The Faight, a night of live jazz, funk, and neo-soul from some of the bay’s finest, along with delicious wine and good vibes. The $10 entry is included in your ticket purchase!
