Better Things Gathering & Open Mic (February 2026)

Please join us on Tuesday, February 3rd, at 7:00pm, at Moon Palace Books, for our next 5×5 Reading, featuring five fantastic artists: Ari Tison (Bribri), BakiBakiBaki, Jeffrey Dorr-Slowey, Heid E. Erdrich, and Isha Camara, followed by an open mic.


Each featured artist will take five minutes to share work. After the main reading, there will be a short break for refreshments, followed by an open mic period.


All are welcome to show up and participate in the open mic! (List is first come, first serve.) This reading, and the open mic afterward, will be hosted by Davi Gray and Erin Sharkey; both reading and open mic will feature ASL interpretation.


Masks are required at Moon Palace Books and are available on-site. This is a free event.


Better Things is a series of events sponsored by the ReEntry Lab, in partnership with the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop (MPWW) and Moon Palace Books. The ReEntry Lab is an organization working to connect writers and other artists leaving incarceration to a community that’s ready to receive them.


This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
