Writers & poets
Short readings, spoken word, and storytelling.
Artists & Culture
Human depth, not decoration
Artists are part of the community. A poem, a song, a short reading, or a sketch can do more for a room of strangers than any agenda. Cultural contributions support conversation — they don't dominate the evening.
Who's welcome
Bring your craft to the table
Musicians & singers
Acoustic musicians, instrumentalists, and singers.

Cultural historians and thoughtful speakers.
Visual artists
Sketch artists, painters, photographers, and designers.
Practical boundaries
How contributions work
Venue approval
Performances and any amplification require venue approval, arranged in advance.
Support, don't dominate
Contributions are sized to support the conversation, not to replace it.
Fair support
Artists may be supported through donations, a stipend, or a community fund — never expected to perform for free as a default.
Same code
The same code of conduct applies: alcohol-free, 25+, civility, and no tobacco promotion.
