ArtCity Studios - Open Mic March 21, 7:00 PM 

Join us for Open Mic Night on Friday, March 21st!

We are thrilled to have Sage Liskey as our MC for the evening, as well as featured poet, Isaac Paris, and featured musician, Axon.

Sign up starts at 6:30pm, featured performers on at 7pm, and mic opens up at 7:30pm. Suggested donation of $5 - $10 at the door to support the featured artists and space.

About the MC: "Sage Liskey is an Oregon born artist, designer, and event organizer. He is the author of seven books and has been the featured poet at events such as the Oregon Country Fair and Poetry Night With Jalen."

About the featured poet: "Isaac Paris is a former Alaskan who illustrates his stand up comedy routines and slam poems with cartoons. His current obsession is his sci fi radio play series "future macabre radio." You can usually find him teaching kids art at Network Charter school or enjoying the company of pets."

About the featured musician: "Axon writes and sings songs in the Western herban cowboy tradition. A seasoned baritone voice and a signature guitar technique deliver an engaging Americana performance. A half a century of performing experience, across a variety of genres, infuses a roots repertoire with elements of folk, blues, jazz, tonk and gospel, informed by a healthy reverence for the soundtrack of "the Sixties".

ArtCity Studios is a collective of shared art studios located downstairs in the Quakenbush building in downtown Eugene, OR. Interested in renting an art space? We have openings! Please inquire at artcitystudioseugene@gmail.com.
