No Artist Info Open Mic

The No Artist Info Open Mic is brought to you by by Art VS Life, which is a platform and community for artists by artists. The open mic happens every Monday 6:30pm-10pm at Starr Bar (214 Starr Street, Brooklyn). Part variety show, part jam session and part cypher, the Open Mic aims to be the performance-based representation of what Art VS Life is all about: providing a safe space for creative expression and an oasis for artists to build with one another and enhance their respective crafts. There’s no charge to sign up and performers receive a complimentary drink ticket to boot.

The Open Mic also aims to provide opportunities for growth and expansion: performers have the chance to be tapped to rock full sets at AVL’s monthly showcases, as well as receive the platform’s database of independent artist resources, which lists other open mics around NYC, affordable recording studios and more.

Hosted by Que Cee, a staple of the NYC independent music and arts spheres, No Artist Info’s Open Mic takes inspiration from the spirit of classic, legendary open mic and jam session platforms Freestyle Mondays, The Lesson and more. Come through to communicate, share and vibe together.
