About this Event

Trans Grief + Joy Open Mic Night

Come celebrate the beauty and expansiveness of the trans community at our Trans Grief + Joy Open Mic Night! This is a space to honor your multi-faceted trans experience and release some of what you've been holding in community.

Come share your stories, songs, poems, art pieces, laughter, tears, or anything else to express yourself in these wild times.


Trans, nonbinary, two-spirit, and gender expansive folks are encouraged to share and perform—and allies and community members are welcome and encouraged to attend! Please see important info for performers below.

This event is open and welcoming to all. Come join us in celebrating trans joy and healing in our vibrant, beautiful trans community.

P lease BYOB any food or beverages you'd like to enjoy during the event (hard seltzer, cider, beer, wine is ok, but please no liquor/hard alcohol).

Accessibility info - This event is in an ADA compliant venue and there are no stairs to enter or navigate the space. This is a masks optional event.



Support Trans Wellbeing

Trans Grief + Joy Open Mic is a fundraiser for TACT, the Trans Advocacy & Care Team, so we ask for a $5-$20 sliding-scale donation based cover—and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

You can learn more about TACT’s work, access free peer counseling services, and donate at yourtact.org.



Information for Performers

Sign up at the door to perform! Be sure to arrive at 6:30 pm if you’d like to sign up to perform! Each performer will have max 5 mins for their performance, so please ensure that whatever you prepare to share will fit within that time limit.

This will be a supportive and encouraging space where everyone’s expression is honored and valued. All topics, genres, and forms of expression are valid here.

No matter what you plan to bring to the space, we can’t wait to hold space for your joy, grief, and creativity. We are here to witness and support you. You are loved and you belong here!
