Bring Poetry to life with us ALL month long
First Thursday of every month from 7pm to 9pm
We meet to share, listen and be inspired by the voices of diversity in our community.
Five-minute readings: Share a short piece of your work. It's a great way to practice public speaking, get feedback, and connect with others.
Supportive, low-pressure atmosphere: No critiques unless invited—this is all about encouraging one another and celebrating the craft of writing.
Whether you're writing fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, or something else, all are welcome!
Third Thursday of every month from 7pm to 9pm
Poet's of all styles and levels of experience welcome. Open to all ages.
Poets are welcome to share anything but are asked to give warning before sharing sensitive or triggering material.
Bring 3-5 minutes worth of material to read or sit in the audience and enjoy a night of heartfelt entertainment.
Stay in touch on our Facebook Group: Dunnville Open Mic Poets
Collaging is a playful and intuitive way to express yourself—piecing together words, images, and textures to create something entirely new.
But what is a zine? It’s a self-published, small-format booklet filled with personal stories, poetry, or artwork—essentially a DIY magazine that gives you complete creative freedom! Plus - we'd love to sell any zines you make in our gift shop zine library, so everyone can enjoy them!
This Pay-What-You-Can night provides access to 100+ magazines and books to cut, tear, and transform into something uniquely yours. Whether you're an experienced artist or just looking for a fun, low-pressure way to create, Collage & Zine Night is an open space for expression and exploration.
