First Saturdays Open Mic + Art Show at People's Gallery Project

JOIN US FOR COLLIDE FIRST SATURDAY- A very special event celebrating the power of community, arts, and connection.

On Saturday, August 2nd, Collide Zine will host another special open mic for “First Saturdays” at the one and only People’s Gallery Project in Washington Square West!

2-3 ART VENDORS WANTED, APPLY HERE:

Each month we are theming our mic around a different theme. This month we ask participants to bring work relating to METAMORPHOSIS. This can be a poem, a song, a piece of visual art, or any creative project that resonates with this theme in your life or someone else's. Come ready to share with a supportive group of creatives who will celebrate the journey of your work without any pressure for it to be completed or polished. Open mic signups are first come, first serve. Sign up at the door when you arrive to participate, or relax and enjoy the show.

This event is donation-based with a minimum suggested amount of $5-$10.

This is a safe and supportive environment to enjoy yourself, connect with local artists and entrepreneurs, support makers, have fun, and just BE YOU.

What to Expect:

An interactive pop-up style art gallery in a unique studio setting

Live music

A new selection of beverages including specialty teas and NA cocktails

A polaroid photo booth

Complimentary snacks and beverages

........and more!

This is a part of Collide Zine and @peoplesgalleryproject’s new First Saturdays series, with the goal to bring consistent accessible creative events to the bustling sidewalks of Pine St and surrounding small businesses. The first Saturday of each month, we will turn our new flagship gallery space into a pop-up style art or performing arts event featuring visual arts by local People's Gallery Project artists and/or local musicians, poets, vendors, and creatives of all kinds. Imagine a Saturday evening at your favorite cafe, but surrounded by art, creativity and a TON of good energy.

RSVP here to reserve a spot today! Open mic performances start at 7pm.
