Literary Arts, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit literary organization based in Portland, Oregon, established in 1985. Its mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature. The mission's three branches are reflected in three programing areas: reader outreach, supporting "authors, poets, playwrights and cartoonists", and exposing youth to literature. Literary Arts sponsors the Oregon Book Awards, Oregon Literary Arts Fellowships, and The Portland Arts & Lectures Series. Literary Arts also joins with other community organizations in presenting programs, an active out-reach program and frequent collaborations with other cultural arts organizations in Portland.
