STAND UP FOR BEYOND BAROQUE
A Comedy Fundraiser

Beyond Baroque Literary Arts | Center has been an integral part of Venice since 1968 when it operated out of a store front on Abbott Kinney. In 1971 it was moved to the old Venice City Hall building. The Center supports writers through free workshops and performance space; gives the community access to live literature with over 200 events a year, including monthly art exhibits; and houses Venice’s only new and used bookstore offering focusing on poetry, literature and art.
Everyone knows the El NiƱo is coming, and we need your help. Beyond Baroque houses one of, if not the only, collection of chapbooks, magazines, zines, books and other art from SoCal artists and writers since 1968. During last year's rain, we had a leak that damaged some our very cherished materials. You can help us keep that from happening again and laugh all the time. Check out our first ever STAND UP FOR BEYOND BAROQUE fundraiser! All proceeds benefit our roof repair!
