Winter Burrow

Like other conferences and festivals, there is an opportunity for folks to submit proposals for panels, discussions, performances, and presentations. Subjects for proposals that we’re interested in connect to literature, music, and/or art in Appalachia.

The 2024 Winter Burrow theme is Shifting Landscapes. 

Types of Sessions

We are looking for engaging sessions spanning from scholarly presentations (ex: The Symbolism of the Cabin in Lucy Furman’s Work), to discipline discussions (ex: Fostering Community in Chattanooga with Poetry Night at Wanderlinger), to cross discipline adventures (ex: Building a Playlist for Robert Gipe’s Novels), to craft demonstrations (ex: How to Use Recycled Materials to Make Windchimes), to performances (Joe Schmoe Plays Selections from His New Album), to sessions we can’t even imagine yet.
