SEE YOU FOR RWR IV
In the meantime, take a look back at 2024 and 2025
The Rockaway Writers Rendezvous is a program from the Neah-Kah-Nie Coast Art, Music & Cultural Foundation (NCAM Foundation) a registered Oregon 501(c)(3) cultural nonprofit. We have a staff of highly unpaid skilled volunteers, we are supported by our community and its businesses, and in 2025 we are excited to announce that we have received grants from these city and community programs.
We are very grateful to everyone who has helped, and your valuable time and resources help students pursuing education in the creative arts by providing scholarships and help the community by powering our community events.
Looking for last year’s Anthology? If you are in Rockaway we have them at Seaquest Treasures.
If you are not in town, it’s on Amazon as well.
Rockaway Writers Rendezvous is now a part of the NCAM Foundation!
Thank you to the City of Rockaway, its businesses, its volunteers, and the community. We are so grateful to all of you for coming together to create a solid foundation for growth!
NCAM Foundation serves all of Tillamook Coast, we are based in Rockaway Beach. In 2024 The Rockaway Writer's Rendezvous was partially funded by our first grant, a Community Grant from the City of Rockaway Beach. In 2025, the City funded a second grant which greatly helped us build to a bigger event and reach more people.
