SANCTUARY OPEN MIC, 8 PM

Sanctuary open mic was developed to provide local artists with a casual, no-cost venue to develop their performance skills. It also provides those performers with an opportunity to network with their peers and build connections that may benefit them as they continue to develop artistically and professionally. In addition to benefiting area performers, we are excited to provide our community with a no-cost opportunity to enjoy live music, poetry, and storytelling in a setting other than the bar scene ... a “sanctuary.” Q: 752-7021
