Get ready for a night of heart warming poetry at our Florence Art and Museums’ Open Mic Night, happening on January 29th, 2025, at 6:30 p.m at the Southall House, 209 E. Tuscaloosa St., Florence. Poets are invited to share their original works that explore The Elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.

This event will feature readings by Melissa DeOrazio of Dirty Revelers Fame and distinguished poet Harry Moore. The event will be followed by an open mic for audience participation. Our goal is to promote poetry and create a welcoming space where both published and unpublished poets can share their work while bringing together our diverse communities.
