This open mic welcomes any writer of any level and also welcomes any of the performative arts! We would love it if you came and read / performed your work with us -- each month of the open mic is on a certain theme, a theme we vote on each month. Each participant is allowed up to seven minutes, but you do not have to take up the full seven minutes of course. All are welcome to attend as well, you do not need to read in order to come, we love our crowd participants just as much :) We do our open mic each month, typically on the third Friday of the month. 


If you want to perform you will sign up at the start of the event! Once you walk into the main gallery of Cottonwood you will see a sign up table. 


March theme: What's really at the end of the rainbow?


If you have any questions please reach out to our host: Jacqueline Moulton ([email protected])
