Thank you for your interest in inviting Clark County Poet Laureate Ashley “Ms. AyeVee” Vargas to your upcoming event! 

To get started, please share the details of your event with us. We will review your request and get back to you soon to confirm her availability or discuss any necessary adjustments regarding the time, date, and other event details.

As a reminder, typical engagements for the poet laureate include appearances at libraries, museums, literary festivals, book clubs, bookstores, educational institutions, writing conferences, veterans' events, and media interviews.

The Clark County Public Arts Office oversees the poet laureate program, collecting invitation requests and providing Ms. AyeVee with an annual stipend that covers part of her materials and travel expenses. While the role of poet laureate is prestigious, it is not a full-time position, and Ms. AyeVee does not have an office at Clark County.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
