Join Elise Mark as she hosts Creative Becoming’s Monthly Open Mic—an event that warmly welcomes creatives and art lovers from all walks of life. Artists and audiences are welcomed to this truly unique space to connect and support art together.

Come as you are

Here, perfection is not the aim; instead, it's about sharing, forming new relationships, building a strong community of creatively inspired people, and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed and welcoming environment. No labels of "good," "ready," or "professional" are required – just your genuine passion. It's an opportunity to test new creations, conquer stage jitters, release your thoughts, or expose your emotions to a community of kindred spirits.

In short — all levels and performance types are welcome, and we love a great audience member too!

Location details

The Monthly Open Mic takes place at The Perch Music & Arts Studio, equipped with a Steinway piano, microphones, Bluetooth speakers, guitars, bass, and ambient lighting, all at your disposal. Of course, you're free to bring your own instrument or equipment too.

Time

Doors open at 7pm. Performances start at 7:30pm. All attendees are welcome to comfortable seating first come first serve, and light refreshments. All performers sign up at the door and receive 10 minutes of stage time.

Come to perform, come to listen, come to connect!

Feel free to contact host Elise Mark for questions or suggestions for the open min or community at large. We are currently seeking featured artists for November and December dates.
