A space for young creatives to share, express, and network with like-minded peers. Held at various community-focused businesses, this event features randomly selected students presenting a 3-minute piece of their choice. Over 90 minutes, students learn hip-hop history, performance techniques, and stage etiquette from resident hosts and a DJ. OpenMike often concludes with professionals or art advocates discussing their creative process, showcasing their work, or sharing learning opportunities.
