Retail Center

    A Literary Boutique in the Heart of Bend

Come visit The Nature of Words' retail center for a boutique with a literary arts theme. You'll find gifts and must-have items to feed your literary needs and those of all the book-o-philes you know. We're open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Stop by NOW's Literary Arts Center at 224 NW Oregon Avenue in downtown Bend (across the street from the Pine Tavern) and check out the growing array of unique items.

Proceeds from all sales will benefit NOW’s youth programs: The Storefront Project, offering free drop-in creative writing workshops, and Words Without Walls creative writing residencies in public schools and alternative educational programs.

Also, local artists are welcome to sell their literary-themed creations on consignment. Email info@thenatureofwords.org for more information.
