What’s good, family?

It’s time for another unforgettable Poetry Open Mic Experience with Voices In Power. This isn’t your average open mic— this is where poetry meets vibes, & the energy is unmatched.

Here’s the deal:

Doors open at 6:00 PM, & the show begins at 7:00 PM. Start your night with music, food, drinks, & networking, plus the chance to sign up for our open mic raffle. The vibes will be curated by DJ G33k, with a special opening available to feature which will be pulled randomly from our raffle, alongside visual artists & local vendors. Expect a night filled with love, community, & powerful poetry.

For Poets:

We are doing something different & using a two-bucket raffle sign-up process.

• Open Mic Bucket: Sign up here if you want a chance to perform a single poem, with a 5-minute time limit.

• Feature Raffle Bucket: Sign up here if you want a shot at becoming the Featured Poet of the Night. This winner will be the first name drawn, earning a 15-minute feature slot & a $250 payout. You must be prepared with a 15-minute poetry set. The selected poet will get access to a Green Room to prepare 30 minutes prior to their set time.

Poets can sign both buckets, but if selected for the feature, their name will be removed from the open mic list.

Signing a raffle ticket does not guarantee you’ll be selected to perform.

Please respect the process and time limits to ensure the best experience for everyone.
