Wandering Bards: Community for Creatives

🕟 Time: 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM
📍 Location: Glendale Branch – SLC Public Library
Address: 1375 S Concord St, Salt Lake City, UT 84104

We'll be meeting in the large community room A. After you enter the main doors, walk up to the main desk and Community Room A is just to the left down a small hallway next to the restrooms. Look for a sign that says Wandering Bards Guitar Night or a guy with a guitar and a slightly chaotic notebook.

This is a beginner-friendly group guitar lesson designed to help you play your first full song—even if you've never picked up a guitar before. We'll break it down step by step, laugh through the mistakes, and celebrate the progress.

Our first song will be Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. It’s simple, emotional, and a great one for beginners to strum and sing along to. Bring your acoustic guitar (or electric with a small amp) and an open mind. We'll finish by jamming together and maybe even making plans to form mini bands as we grow. Afterward, you're invited to join us for food and conversation at a nearby spot!

🕒 Time: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Liberty Park (look for a guitarist under the Gazebo near the duck pond)

Bring your notebook, your laptop, your guitar, your cajon, your voice or just your imagination—this is a creative hangout for writers of all kinds. Whether you write poetry, short stories, songs, journals, or novels, you'll find kindred spirits here. This isn’t just a quiet writing session (though you’re welcome to go inward)—it’s a space for collaboration and conversation.

Want to co-write a song? Share a prompt? Workshop lyrics with someone? That’s exactly the energy we’re looking for. This event will happen every month, so let it become your ritual for creative connection. Bring water, a blanket or chair, and anything you need to stay comfy while we create under the trees.

🕒 Time: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM
📍 Location: We will meet on the 3rd floor of Kahve Café

This casual meet and greet is open to all creative spirits—musicians, writers, poets, painters, songwriters, doodlers, dreamers, and anyone who sees the world a little differently. This is a community for those who love art in all its forms and want to share it, talk about it, and connect with others who feel the same.

We'll keep it relaxed and fun: sip a drink, chat with fellow artists, and share a bit about what you create (or want to create). Whether you're an experienced bard or just starting to explore your artistic path, you're welcome here. This group is all about encouragement, collaboration, and building something beautiful together.

Arrive a few minutes early to grab a drink or snack before meeting us on the 3rd floor!
