What We Are
What We Are
Welcome to "at The Lion" -- a free, public "affinity gathering" intended to support community interactions among those who choose to attend. Affinity groups focus on some common aspect in their lives, in this case we focus on (1) poetry & the arts or (2) larger community interconnectivity. Our intent is simply to meet and , hopefully, get to know our neighbors.
The venue opens its doors at 5:30 pm on the 2nd Friday of each month for Poetry Readings from 6 pm to 7:30 pm, and the doors close promptly at 8:00 pm. The same is true for Pot Luck Possibilities on the 4th Friday of each month.
Click here for Parking information, or at any time find it on the drop-down menu item above.
Admission is FREE
&
Refreshments are FREE!
No one will approach you about participation in the church --
you will only be treated as a neighbor.
At the bottom of this page you will see a map to our location at 1309 R street, Lincoln, NE, at St. Mark's On the Campus Episcopal Church -- the one with the bronze sculpture of the Lion in the courtyard -- the Lion being the heraldic figure for the city of Venice, which embraced St. Mark the Evangelist as its Patron Saint.
