Write In Your Face Open Mic

Get ready to share your voice at the Write In Your Face Open Mic! This is your chance to shine in a relaxed, in-person setting where creativity flows and the vibes are chill. Whether you’re a poet, storyteller, or just love to listen, come hang out and enjoy an evening full of raw talent and good times. Show up, speak out, and be part of something awesome!

Info: Kick off the evening by connecting with fellow creatives, performers, and supporters of the arts. This is your moment to meet new faces, greet returning artists, share what you’re working on, exchange socials, and build relationships that extend beyond the stage. Whether you’re performing, supporting, or just curious about the creative community, this opening session sets the atmosphere for collaboration, encouragement, and shared energy before the mic goes live.

Info: This is the moment that sets the tone for the night. Opening the Mic is a dedicated 10-minute segment where the host — or a selected volunteer from the audience — officially launches the evening with a featured performance piece. It’s more than just going first; it’s about breaking the silence, igniting the room, and inviting every voice that follows to step forward with confidence. Once the opening piece is delivered, the mic is officially live and the stage is open.

Info: This is the heart of the night. During the Open Mic Segment, ten selected poets and spoken-word artists take the stage to share original work, personal truth, and creative fire. Each performer brings a unique voice, story, and rhythm to the room — creating a live tapestry of expression, vulnerability, courage, and craft. Whether delivering raw honesty, lyrical beauty, faith-filled reflection, or social commentary, every artist contributes to the pulse of the evening. The mic is open, the audience is present, and the moment belongs to the voices in the room.
