New Works Reading & Open Mic Night!

New Works Reading & Open Mic

Join writer, editor, literary arts manager, and Mumu Stories podcast host Marianne Manzler and five local artists, writers, educators, and entrepreneurs as they share new works at Magers and Quinn. This hour also features an open mic reading, musical guest, and short reception afterwards with light beverages and bites.

Marianne Manzler is a 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

RSVPs are for attendance. A dedicated sign-up sheet for those interested in reading during the open mic portion will be available at the event.
