Now more than ever, community spaces matter. A mic, a stage, and a room full of people willing to listen—these moments of expression and connection remind us why we show up for each other. Whether you’re sharing a song, a poem, a story, or just coming to soak in the vibes, you’re welcome here.

Join us at Lumen Labs for a night of creative performance & experimentation in a supportive environment! If you're new, here's how it goes down:

• Doors open at 6:00 PM with the first performance at ~6:30 PM.
• All performance art is welcome! Art🎭 Sing, read poetry, do some stand-up, or interpretive dance... you name it!

We should have everything ready for you to easily plug-in your instrument, or take advantage of our house gear—microphones, amplifiers, guitars (both acoustic and electric), electric keyboards, and more...

Not feeling the spotlight? No worries! The audience is just as essential. We've created a cozy atmosphere where diversity is celebrated, and all forms of self-expression are embraced. Your presence adds to the magic of the night, so come, enjoy, and bask in the diverse talents that will grace our stage. See you there!
