Free monthly comic jam at the Maison de la littérature where participants take turns drawing panels of a shared story, usually on the first Wednesday of the month at 6 pm, open to anyone who likes to draw.
Free, but reserve a spot with the Réserver button on the Maison de la littérature event page. Anyone who likes to draw is welcome, authors and artists included. In turn, each person invents and draws the next panel of a group comic, which someone else continues. Bring your favourite drawing tools. Run by Confiture BD Québec since 2012.
Drop-in open-mic poetry evening in the Morrin Centre library on the first Monday of each month from 7:30 to 9 pm, where people come to read their own poetry or simply to listen.
Just drop in: come to read your own poetry at the open mic, or simply to listen. The soirée is in the Morrin Centre's library; if you arrive after it starts, ring the doorbell. Questions go to [email protected].
Free drop-in knitting afternoon at the Patro de Lévis Tiers-Lieu on Thursdays from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, where knitters swap techniques and meet people over tea or coffee; basic knitting skills needed.
No registration: bring your knitting to the Tiers-Lieu at the Patro de Lévis on a Thursday afternoon to swap techniques and meet people over tea or coffee.

Monthly Friday poetry night at 8 pm at the Maison de la littérature, run by the Tremplin d'actualisation de poésie, with invited poets followed by an open mic of nine five-minute slots booked at the door.
Free, with no reservation shown. Invited poets read first, then comes an open mic for nine people, up to 5 minutes each, as a reading, interpretation or performance. Sign up for the open mic at the door. Evenings are relaxed, spontaneous and sometimes funny, on the Maison de la littérature's literary stage.
