Can You Come Out and Play?
Join Us for a GWP Social Event
Writers @ Play(ce) on Friday, January 16th, 2026 at Third Friday in Delmar Maker District
Join us for a bi-annual GWP social event where we come together to converse, write, and explore a local place! Gateway Writing Project values the inclusion of spaces during the writing experience. Place-based writing invites writers to be influenced by an environment or location with the notion that places can impact our thinking, our perspectives, our engagement, our purpose, and even our ownership of the writing. The act of producing writing is a heavy cognitive load. Writers need time within the writing process to actually process their own thinking. Incorporating spaces into our experience provides writers the time to do so. Place has an ongoing and lasting impact on the human experience, including how we see the world. We work hard, so let's play hard!
Our winter gathering takes place on Friday, January 16th from 4 - 7 PM. Join us at The Delmar Maker District located at 5127 Delmar Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108.
Writing is our middle name...
