Punk Open Mic Night!

Welcoming creatives from all disciplines and paths of life: the stage is open for you to tell your stories and express your inner/outer artist!

Rock out and get inspired! Share your poetry, discover new music, and express your ideas on the open stage. (Flower-friendly vibes in the basement!!! )

Chill out and level up in the arcade, featuring a prized collection of video games, board games, and card games. Free snacks and beverages, plus pizza next door!!

$10 Entry at the door or FREE with membership (contact @thirdspacenewhaven).

The open mic will now be hosted on the ground floor to prioritize accessibility. Basement is still open for a vibing out (420-friendly. No elevator).

About Us

Punq Noire is a transformative arts initiative that redefines cultural experiences in New Haven by spotlighting QTBIPOC artists who use their creativity as a tool for radical healing and loud resistance.

We define “punk” as a creative whose work is unapologetically radical, provocative, and genre-defiant; someone whose art persists at the forefront of social and creative revolutions!

Since our 2022 music festival, Punq Noire has hosted monthly open mic events that are opportunities to forge deeper connections within our community, serve as catalysts for engagement, build excitement and awareness around our collective creative wealth.

We aim to create a ripple effect that inspires and informs locals about their own creative potential, unlocking doors to a world of possibilities.

Third Space is a gaming lounge, creative community space and event space located in Westville, New Haven. Relax and be entertained by their wide variety of card, board, and video games.

Info: Settle in - grab a snack and a drink, pick a seat, and sign up for a chance to express! But no presh, you can always sign up later than the rest.

Info: Our host will kick off the open mic by announcing some upcoming events, and they might even read a poem. Then it's your turn to get along! Sing a song, tell a joke, share your passions and your hopes. All are welcome, near and far, at our monthly funky Punq Noire.

Info: Over so soon? Don't y'all fret, because we're not done with the fun yet. Third Space is an arcade lounge that's open 'til 11:00! So if leaving seems like hell, then stick around for gamer heaven. It may look like clouds but it smells like gas, cuz in the basement they're playing puff-puff-pass. But if you're more into Super Smash, then woah -- make yourself at home, because you don't got to go just yet. And when the open mic night goes over time, it's the best!
