Event Details

Teens are invited to perform spoken word or a musical piece at our Teen Open Mic Night!

All artists will have 3-5 minutes to perform. Practice performing, try out your latest piece, and meet other like-minded creative types. All poetry styles are welcome! Want to attend but not perform? Take a seat, relax, and ENJOY! We welcome and encourage all levels of performers, novice to expert.

The candidates for Rock Hill’s Youth Poet Laureate will also be performing selected pieces, and the new Youth Poet Laureate will be announced at the event.

Performers must be 12-18, but event is open to all teens, their friends and family. Register online or call (803) 504-3763, starting October 30. Limit 50. Poetry pieces need to have family friendly content and submitted to the Library prior to the event.

This program aligns with YCL’s arts and creativity literacy framework, which addresses the ability to understand art history, styles, techniques, the ways to discuss art, and learning through creative expression, creative activities, visualization, and creative thinking.
