Experience poets and those new to the art of spoken word are being encouraged to sign up for an open mic event in Bacchus Marsh next month.

Attendees will also hear from two emerging artists from Gordon – Shafiah and Zeb Nelson – who promise to elevate the event with their captivating performance.
“Whether you’re an experienced poet or just looking to dip your toes into the art of spoken word, the open mic is a welcoming space for everyone,” Ms Mahony said.,
“Audience members are encouraged to participate by sharing their own poetry or simply enjoying the creative expressions of others.”
It will be held at Bookbarn, Blacksmiths Cottage, Bacchus Marsh, on Sunday, November 10, from 2-4pm. Admission is free.
