CURATOR VENUE LEG MATCHUPS

FESTIVAL 2023 Matchups have been assigned

CVL MATCHUPS FOR THE 2023 FESTIVAL

BCLF acknowledges that some Curators have agreed to read in other Events. We love that!
However, we request that Curators not read in their own Event if they are booked in another Event.  Similarly, we respectfully request that you read at one event only, to allow for more people to join in the Festival.

If a Curator has a reading in an Event that occurs in the same Leg as their own, let us know who will facilitate yours while you read at the other. We can help with that.

Curator/ Event blog posts are coming soon. That's where you'll find all the Curator/Event/Reader Bios/Venue information
