The Meeting Schedule page is updated periodically, as information becomes available, so please check back often. MP&W writing workshops and other events are often publicized in the Moab Happenings and/or the Advertiser.  (To enquire about Open Mic events not listed here, please contact Marcy.)  

About our Open Mic Meetings
MP&W sponsors quarterly Open Mic events, which used to be called Final Fridays because they would fall on the last Friday of the month. Now they are scheduled three or four times a year and are held at various locations. Some Open Mic events begin with a Featured Reader. When the Open Mic is held at a campground or park, you are invited to bring a pot luck dish or snack to share.

Networking begins at 6:30 pm and readings start at 7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend, to share poetry and prose, and to visit with other writers.

Going south on Main St., take a left at the Moab Information Center onto Center St. Follow Center St. to the stop sign on 400 east and take a right. Continue on 400 east for five blocks and go left at Dave's Corner Market on to Mill Creek Drive. Drive East on Mill Creek Drive to the Rotary Park. There are two different parking areas for Rotary Park; you can also park across the street at the Red Rock Elementary School. We meet at the East end of the park. You might want to bring a folding chair to sit on or a blanket for the lawn.
Gold Bar Beach:
Drive on Hwy 191 North from Moab and drive across the river. About two miles to the west, before the Arches entrance, turn left on a road heading south. The Potash Road runs between the river and the cliffs (it is also the beginning of the Shafer Trail). Drive down this paved but narrow road a few miles until you reach a campground on the river side of the road (the left-hand side). The Gold Bar Campground is across the road from the Corona Arch parking lot. Meetings are held on a table in this campground. You might want to bring some bug spray.
