Open Mic in the Bookstore!

#### Calling all poets, spoken word artists, and musicians!

Join us for our monthly Poetry/Spoken Word/Music Open Mic with a supportive, energizing audience. Experienced performers or newbies, all are welcome.

HOW IT WORKS
Performing? Performer sign-up is between 7-7:30PM. Performers will submit their name “into the hat” and we’ll draw 15 names right before 7:30PM. Each performer will have up to 5 minutes each on the mic.

Mics, amp, and sound mixers are available. A keyboard is available with advance notice; please call the store (914-847-0773) or email amy@hvbooksforhumanity.com before 4 PM on the day of the Open Mic with a keyboard request).

OUR COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS
To help nurture a space of respect, validation, and welcoming:
1. We're here to share space, build community, and support each other.
2. Performers: respect the 5-minute time limit and be mindful of your timekeeper.
3. If you like something, make some noise! Snap your fingers, stomp your feet, clap, whatever feels right to you.
4. We encourage you to get to know your seat neighbors. Connect and build community.

Audience tickets $10-$20 per audience member at the door. (Performers do not pay an entry fee.)

Door proceeds are shared between emcee, performers, and Bethany Arts Community.
