On Sept. 4, Redbud Writing Project celebrated the opening of its new downtown Raleigh headquarters with more than 100 guests, bringing together writers, readers, and friends for an evening of wine, food, conversation, and live readings. Amanda Bennett, Daniel Wallace, Belle Boggs, and Sylvester Allen Jr. read for the crowd, which filled the beautifully restored historic space. The new headquarters marks an exciting new chapter for Redbud.
