Foray for The Arts is a traveling multidisciplinary event that was founded by Greg Bem and Sarah Rooney. The event is intended to provide a place for local artists of all kinds to perform with each other in order to collaborate, network, and gain experience. This event series travels to local businesses in hopes to celebrate the unique variety of venues that Spokane has to offer while providing opportunities to connect with different parts of the community. This Foray event hopes to give the writers a flexibility to showcase their writing as well as pair it with possible other creative talents. This special festival edition of Foray is composed of 2025 festival authors Lauren Westerfield, Juan Carlos Reyes, Kristen Millares Young, Josh Fomon, Daniel Tam-Claiborne, Diana Xin, and Tiffany Midge alongside Spokane writers Margaret Albaugh, Shraya Singh, and Taylor Waring.

Writing can sometimes feel like a lonely art: the solitary act of creation between the writer and the page. But that doesn’t have to be the case. While academia often offers writers an opportunity to share and shape one another’s work, there can be many avenues for finding a creative community exchanging process methods, and sharing avenues for inspiration. Join authors Maggie Smith, Molly Olguin, Tara Campbell, Jennifer Yu, and Lauren Westerfield in a discussion about the beauty of artistic community and writerly connections, both inside and outside academia.
