Gowin co-founded 1990 a reading series at Houle Books, a bookstore in Phoenix, AZ, at 36 East Camelback. The reading series (Readings at Houle's) featured renown writers residing in the southwestern states.
Gowin was the co-founder of THEATRE OF OUTRAGE & EXCELLENCE (1990-1992), a writer/performance art group from Phoenix, AZ, which performed at gallery spaces. The group showed experimental controversial work dealing with social issues.
