About this Event

Join us for the next 'This is The Art' open mic!


‘This Is The Art’ is an open mic night for anyone with something to express. From musicians sharing original songs to comedians, storytellers, poets, spoken word artists, rappers, improvisers, and more — this evening is a container for all who feel moved to shine their light. Bring your weird and wonderful art form. Come to perform, or simply to witness. All expressions are welcome. This is collective resonance.


This is the art.


Hosted by Mend the Spirit (Bri), the night begins with sign-ups at 7:00 PM, and performances run from 8:00–11:00 PM. Stay from start to finish to experience the evening’s headlining performance — a special closing set by Ocean Penharkar.


Enabling Arts operates on the unceded and traditional Coast Salish lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh, and šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ Nations. We offer gratitude to the stewards of these lands and acknowledge our responsibility to hold creative spaces with care and respect.
