Art Amok Slam

Thanks to everyone who competed in the Women of the World qualifying slam: Molly Lampton, Theresa Davis, Karen G. and Malika. Congratulations to Hillary Kobernick, the winner of the slam! Our next slam and open mic will be Feb. 24 at In Tune Studio.

Congratulations Hillary, the 2012 Art Amok! WOW representative

2nd Friday’s slam is a specialty slam for WOMEN ONLY. The rules will be a little bit different, so here’s how it’s going to go down: If you identify as female, you can sign up for the slam. We will have three rounds, with 1-minute, 2-minute, and 4-minute poems. The winner of the competition will represent Art Amok! at the national Women of the World poetry competition held in Denver March 7-10th.

The open mic is still open to anyone who identifies as male, female, between, or beyond. And of course, we’ll be needing judges.

It’s $5 at the door, the money will help support the poet who goes to the Women of the World competition. Refreshments provided for donations & Grant Park Coffee will be open later than their usual hours for food & coffee just for us!

Gabe Moses will be hosting, which is also very exciting!

See you there next Friday, 7.30pm door & list, 8pm open mic (musicians & artists of all stripes welcome)

followed by the slam off!
