Hope Is Alive! Open Mic

Has creating music, rhymes or poetry given you light in dark times, or shed light on a hidden struggle? Come celebrate how art heals!

Spoken word artists, poets, rappers, country/western singers, dancers—all performers are welcome! First timers are encouraged to get on stage.

Hope Is Alive! Open Mic events are organized by the Stand Against Stigma Committee to raise awareness about mental health struggles, substance use challenges, suicide and suicide loss. Art and performance are used to fight stereotypes, promote healing and understanding.
