Community Guidelines: All Are Welcome
Our open mic is open to all people, regardless of experience, background, or identity. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates the diversity of voices and experiences that make spoken word such a powerful art form. Whether you identify as a poet, rapper, storyteller, or spoken word artist, your voice matters. We are committed to ensuring that our events are accessible to everyone. If you have specific needs, please reach out to us, and we will do our best to accommodate.
- Respect for ourselves and our courage, respect for our audience and the venue.
- Please present original material. Genres can include poetry, prose, raps, anecdote, haiku, essay, memoir, short stories or excerpts from longer works.
- You must sign up to read, and will present in the order you sign up. Space is limited. Signing up signifies understanding of and adherence to the community guidelines.
- Memorization is optional.
- You have up to five minutes to perform; feel free to share multiple pieces within that time.
