Genre’s Open Mic And Artist Talk

 

The tea: We have tried our cute little hearts' best to wait for "normal" until we booked an event. If you have been around since 2019, you will know that we hosted events all the time in Milwaukee, NYC, and Chicago.

There can be no more waiting.

We are hosting monthly virtual vibed out sessions. Typically, the last Sunday of the month, 730pm CST. We dearly miss our community and are ready to chop it up all creative style. We will host talks with artists, writers, and other creatives as well as spit hot fire. No Genre event is done without poetry and storytelling.

  • Each month, we will host featured artists + writers, but also leave time for an open mic + jam session.

    We welcome creatives from all genres. You know how we do. We like a little of this, a little of that, and for all of it to be dope.

    If you are interested in reading your writing, performing, or being interviewed about your creativity, please click here to apply.

    Genre will curate.

    Register to attend event below (see Attend drop down).

    If you have questions, please contact Nakeysha at Nakeysha@GenreUrbanArts.org.

    PEACE.

  • Come listen to visual and written artist share their craft and speak about creativity. Purchase your tickets here.
