Join Q & T Community for their monthly open mic night. It will be a celebration with Storytelling, music, poetry, art, and everything in between. All are welcome! Light refreshments and safer sex materials will be provided.
This is a monthly Open Mic series--every 3rd Saturday of the month hosted by Memphis Washington
Structure of the open mic:
This is meant to be an open artistic space for Uptown LGBTQ+ people. This is an explicitly LGBTQ+ space, which means that we expect people to respect each other's various modes of expression, pronouns, and showing up. We adhere to Word Up's Safe Space policy and will enforce it should anyone in the space violate that policy. To learn about the Word Up Safe Space Policy, please visit this page: https://www.wordupbooks.com/safe-space-policy
CODE OF CONDUCT: Please note Word Up has a zero tolerance policy for harassment or intimidation in our spaces. Please read our Safe Space Policy for more information. Anyone violating these rules will be expelled from the space at the discretion of the volunteers & staff. Please report all harassment to info@wordupbooks.com immediately
ACCESSIBILITY: Recirculation is a wheelchair-accessible space with one ramp from the street level down to the store. Most of the shelves are on wheels and can be moved to provide additional access. The bathrooms are not yet ADA compliant and do not yet have a changing table but are gender neutral. The events are mic’d for sound and videos are captioned when possible. Free ASL interpretation is available for most programs upon request. Please email events@wordupbooks.com to request interpretation as early as possible. If you have specific questions about the space or how an event can be made more accessible to you, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@wordupbooks.com.
