Description:
Mission: To promote and encourage written and spoken word among LGBTIQ people and in our communities. Bent began as the dream of a queer poet longing for a bigger community of queer writers. Tara Hardy took action and in August of 2000 the first queer writer's class began in her living room. The supportive and empowering collective has blossomed ever since. Five classes filled up quickly, and soon the institute was too big for Tara's living room. Bent currently resides in the Madison Non-Profit building, near the Capitol Hill Trader Joe's, at 1620 18th Avenue, Suite 10, Seattle, WA 98122. This space, which is located just between the Central District and Capital Hill, brings Bent the opportunity to reach out to neighbors and invite new voices to the Bent community. We are also proud to be sharing the space with CCEJ: an organization that fights for environmental and economic justice in low income communities and communities of color; and with whom Bent shares a foundation of social justice.
