Come meet fellow music lovers & art advocates! We'll enjoy a night of conversation, community, poetry, and live music. This event is a collaboration with Get Lit, a nonprofit organization, that empowers youth by fusing classic and spoken word poetry to increase teen literacy & inspire young learners to create positive social impact.

Audience members will be split into 5 zoom rooms with 5 poets, who will lead their group in conversation in order to create a collective poem. There is no preperation necessary for this workshop, just a willingness to be open & participate**.  

**This event is private & invite only. All of our guests have been vetted in order to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging space.
