The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow has a story to tell — and they’d love for you to be part of the next chapter.
In 2025, The Writers’ Colony is celebrating 25 years of nurturing writers from across the country and around the world. That’s 25 years of poems, plays, novels, essays, memoirs, cookbooks and screenplays written in the quiet corners of the Writers’ Colony’s Eureka Springs retreat. To honor this milestone, the Writer’s Colony is throwing its first-ever annual fundraiser and inviting you to be a part of the magic.
Bookmarked: A Jazz Age Jubilee, will be an evening of elegance, celebration and creativity on Aug. 3 at the iconic Crescent Hotel.
Step back into the Roaring Twenties — where feathers meet fiction, flappers toast to storytelling and every jazz note celebrates the written word. This will be an unforgettable evening of music, dancing, costumes, photo ops, delicious fare, live and silent auctions, and of course, heartfelt support for the literary arts.
