The mission of Literary Arts Windsor is to introduce Canadian books and authors to residents and students of Windsor and south-western Ontario in such a way as to inspire them to recognize, read, and celebrate Canadian authors.

Literary Arts Windsor is dedicated to education, understanding, and appreciation of the literary arts by providing performances of an artistic and literary nature in public places, senior citizens’ homes, performance areas, theatres, and educational institutions. We also provide seminars on topics relating to such performances.

Our vision is that by continuing to introduce and showcase Canadian literary talent to our community, the written word, the intangible quality of a Canadian voice, and the love of books will continue to be relevant in an increasingly digital world.

We hold events through the year for our members, and our main event is an internationally recognized literary festival: BookFest / Festival du Livre Windsor.
