With support from the California Arts Council, INLANDIA INSTITUTE will implement Year 4 of the highly acclaimed SCIPP creative literacy program which in 2015 was initiated at Bryant School of Arts and Innovation, 4324 Third Street, Riverside, CA 92501. In this project, two of the Inlandia Institute’s core programs, 1) Creative Literacy for Children and Youth and 2) Literary Professional Development, are linked to reach two target audiences, children and emerging creative writers and educators.
Organization’s Core Programs and Services: Inlandia Institute is the only regionally focused nonprofit literary arts network dedicated to the Inland Empire region.
