Open Mic and Artist's Showcase to be held April 13
April 6, 2022Parker, AZ (April 6, 2022) – American Literature students from Arizona Western College will host its fifth annual Open Mic and Artist’s Showcase from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13, at the Parker Learning Center, 1109 Geronimo Ave. To attend or participate via Zoom, the link is azwestern.zoom.us/j/84718418272.
Writers, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, comics, and spoken-word artists of all types are welcome. Any four- to six-minute performance suitable for presentation in a live or virtual environment will be accepted. However, pre-registration is recommended as performance slots are limited. Recordings are accepted.
“Because opportunities for artists to perform in front of a live audience are on the decline, our intention with this event is to create a relaxing performance space for the community to come together and enjoy one another’s work,” said Professor of English David Kern.
“Last year more than 60 people attended this event. I am hoping for the same sort of participation this year as we try to push the event from La Paz County to Yuma County and beyond.”
While AWC encourages freedom of expression in artistic matters, participants are asked to refrain from gratuitous references to violence or slurs based on race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. The faculty and staff of AWC will have the final say on when such content has no artistic merit.
The event is intended for participants and spectators 14 years of age and older.
For more information or to register to perform, contact Professor David Kern at 928-317-5881 or email him at David.Kern@azwestern.edu.
