There are so many wonderfully talented artists in our own communities who are never given the chance to share their gifts. Through our open mics and concert events, we provide opportunities for every level of artist at every stage of their artistic development. Whether it is someone looking for a chance to share a poem, a new song, a painting, or even try their hand at stand-up comedy, or just come to listen and enjoy, we want to give all those involved a safe and supportive environment to explore themselves creatively. It is our hope to bring the arts back into our everyday lives. The arts are for all of us to express and enjoy. They allow us to see the world in a different light. We invite you to join us in our journey.

Come and support our vision by participating or being an audience member at our events.
Sincerely,
Dorothy Biris and Cassandra Vohs-Demann.
