Former Arts & Education Council also recoins Conference on Southern Literature to better reflect its mission of celebrating Southern writers and readers
In a move designed to bring more focus on celebrating Southern literature, the Arts & Education Council is changing the names of both its organization and its signature event.
The organization is now called the Southern Lit Alliance and the Conference on Southern Literature is being renamed the Celebration of Southern Literature, according to Executive Director Susan Robinson.
“This better reflects our mission, which is celebrating Southern writers and readers through community education and innovative literary arts experiences,” she says.
