This year’s Annual Toast has passed, but you can make sure you’re invited next year by becoming a member of the
Young Literati.
Join Young Literati Chair Amanda Fairey and Honorary Chairs Samantha Hanks and Busy Philipps in celebrating the Los Angeles Public Library. Curated by Roy Choi, Amanda and Shepard Fairey, Kate Hudson, and Jason Reitman, the evening will feature readings and musical performances exploring the diverse literary and cultural history of Los Angeles.
This year’s event will feature readings and performances by actress Gillian Jacobs (Community, Girls), DJ/producer Ali Shaheed Muhammed (A Tribe Called Quest), comedian Jason Mantzoukas (The League), comedian and actress Jenny Slate (Obvious Child), GRAMMY-winning L.A. band La Santa Cecilia, and more. The program will be hosted once again by Young Literati Honorary Chair Busy Philipps. Guests will be treated to cocktails and appetizers on the roof deck of the newly-opened LINE Hotel in Koreatown.
The Young Literati Seventh Annual Toast will support the Los Angeles Public Library’s Full STEAM Ahead program. A series of integrated science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) workshops and events for children, teens, and adults, Full STEAM Ahead seeks to inspire and motivate with fun, hands-on learning activities intent on developing personal traits of curiosity, creativity, and persistence essential to a productive life as well as crucial for successful STEM careers – all for free at the Los Angeles Public Library.
