About InKY
InKY (like Rorschach? like the smudgy blots southpaws get when they write?) is grounded in the Kentuckiana region, that weird space where the South and Midwest collide, where voices are tinged with bourbon and Pabst Blue Ribbon, and where strip malls are just as sacred as coal mines.
Our mission is to promote excellent literature through live performances by established and emerging writers from the Kentuckiana region and beyond. Since 2004, we have showcased accomplished, published career poets and writers as well as up-and-coming talent through an ecumenical approach to style, genre, and affiliation. By offering open mic opportunities, we hope to make the literary community more inclusive and participatory.
The InKY Reading Series is a project of InKY, Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization located in Louisville, Ky.
The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, supports InKY, Inc., with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
