About the event

Open Mic & Open Slam
Join us for an evening of poetry, prose, and music at BNA Burger! IWC presents our Open Mic and Open Slam!

Entry is a $6-$10 sliding scale, and $5 for members. To become a member and support IWC’s programming, check out our website for full details.

We have 6 open mic spots. Bring your stories, poems, and music! Spots are first come, first served. Both food and drink will be available from BNA.

Following our Open Mic, we’ll be hosting our ever-wonderful Open Slam! Have you ever wanted to compete for cash prizes with your poems? Look no further! 6 poets sign up and 5 judges are chosen from the crowd. 3 poets move on to read a second poem and compete for prizes! Bring three original poems for the Open Slam should you wish to enter—the third is needed in case of a tie breaker.

Doors and sign up are at 6:30 pm. Typically, we have a line outside the door so if you’d like to participate, arrive promptly!

There are two single user, gender-neutral washrooms available and the space is wheelchair accessible.

Our programming is made possible by the City of Kelowna, the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan, the Province of British Columbia, British Columbia Arts Council, and BNA Brewing.

We respectfully acknowledge that we live and work in the unceded, ancestral territories of the syilx people. It is a privilege to be able to put on events as uninvited guests on their land.
