Birdies for Charity is back! With a guaranteed 5% match, Birdies is the best way to have the greatest impact with your support of MWC.
MWC was among the first arts organizations in the Quad Cities to offer virtual programming after the pandemic started, and as things are opening back up, we continue to develop new programs, engage with new audiences, and educate people about how transformative a simple writing practice can be for everyone, regardless of age and experience.
MWC Press, the publishing imprint of the Midwest Writing Center, is honored to announce the publication of My Cancer Chronicle, the final book of poems from the former Quad City Poet Laureate and long-time Davenport Central High School teacher Richard “Dick” Stahl (1939-2020). The book will be released at a special event on Sunday, June 12 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Wallenberg Hall, Augustana College.
Midwest Writing Center invites the community to join our Annual Meeting where we’ll discuss the year’s programming and performance. We’ll have a limited number of open mic spots and a drawing with those in attendance for a free registration to the David R. Collins Writers’ Conference (a $350 value). Join us to celebrate another successful year!
