Event Details

PoeFest is celebrating its 14th year commemorating the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and you can be a part of it all at multiple locations throughout Phoenix, Arizona this October. PoeFest has been a labor of love for a decade. When PoeFest first opened, it did so to just six audience members. With a packed audience on the third night, they knew they had something special. The fest includes mainstage productions of Poe’s short stories every weekend during the month of October with Poe’s stories rotating nightly. PoeFest usually culminates on Halloween night with ‘The Raven’ at Rosson House Museum. But there’s something extra special about PoeFest that makes Bookmans honored to be a sponsor!

Do you have a flair for the creative? Are you interested in learning more about 3D animation?

Bookmans Phoenix, Mesa and Flagstaff are partnering with RJ Animation to bring you exactly that! Students in grades 6-12 are invited to enter our Student Art Contest! One winner from each Bookmans store will receive a paid scholarship to attend a virtual animation workshop with RJ Animation.

All virtual workshops are a four-week program meeting for one hour, twice per week. Software is provided for students to learn the fundamentals of 3D animation, 3D modeling, basic digital painting, and more. Workshops are limited to not more than 15 students, so each learner receives individual attention from an experienced instructor. Students can choose between six workshop topics over the fall schedule.

What could be more exciting than that? When you complete your workshop, your Bookmans location will display your final project either in-store or via our social media channels!

About Tucson Pride

Tucson Lesbian and Gay Alliance, commonly known as Tucson Pride is an all-volunteer administered and operated nonprofit that produces and promotes cultural, educational, and recreational events for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in Tucson, Arizona and beyond. Tucson Pride was founded in 1977 making it Arizona’s first and longest established LGBTQ Organization. Each year, Tucson Pride hosts the Annual Pride in the Desert festivities, including a well attended Pride Parade and the Pride in the Park Festival.

While most Pride events in the US commemorate the Stonewall Riots in New York, Tucson has its own reasons beyond that of other cities. The Tucson Pride history began with a different tragedy; the brutal murder of Richard Heakin, a young gay man leaving the Stonewall Tavern here in Tucson one evening in 1976. When his attackers were given a slap on the wrist, our community rose UNITED to rally for change, officially forming the organization now known as Tucson Pride. Their efforts led to some of the first LGBT anti-discrimination legislation in the country.
