Hi Writers -

I wanted to make sure everyone knew about Artella's Poetry Open Mic Night, which will be held TONIGHT - Monday, November 12, at 8:30om Eastern.

As we announced in the last ARTELLAGRAM, all Artella events are now free throughout the month of November, to celebrate Artella 5-year Birthday! 

Come share your poetry with an encouraging, supportive crowd! Just like a traditional Open Mic Night, each person who would like to read will have the opportunity to read their poetry, but since this is Artella, of course we will offer an art-inspired twist!  As the poets read, the listeners will be invited to create a community-based piece of art using the interactive whiteboard in the chat room. The poet will then receive, via email, the fun unique gift of this piece of art that was created by the audience, as they doodled their images and impressions of the poem. Everyone is welcome – feel free to just come to listen and draw, if you don't wish to read. 

You can get more information about Artella’s Poetry Open Mic Night here, and sign up on our new, quick form.  You can also read about the other events in November…remember, they are now all free to everyone!  Feel free to invite your friends!

Hope to see you at the Poetry Open Mic, or any/all of the other events!
