TELL! | Open Mic & Potluck

Bring your stories and your favorite dish to share for a chill open mic and potluck hangout. An Artistic Platform for Almost Anything TELL! was created for artists to showcase their work to a supportive audience - a space to perform* music, poetry, monologues, dance, you name it! We welcome all forms of expression, regardless of whether it's a fully formed idea or still a work-in-progress. This event is low/no tech. Bring anything you may need for your performance, including amps for instruments. Use this opportunity to get feedback from an engaged audience or simply show us what you've got! Connect with other artists and community members. This is the place to learn more about what’s happening locally. You’ll hear calls to action, petitions shared and all sorts of announcements. A Community Potluck We know that art and food bring people together like nothing else. Join us for a potluck! Bring a dish* to share if you can. We'll take care of the plates, utensils, and drinks (coffee, tea, and water). To cut down on waste, please bring your own reusable cups and bottles. Come and let’s break bread together. Join us for a night of socializing, sharing ideas, eating, drinking, and being merry! Families with small children are also welcome. *If you plan on performing, please choose the presenting ticket option when registering. **Please include an ingredients list for any dishes you bring.
