A space for people across age range and ability to come and celebrate a gift they have or want to explore. Although there may be some of that, you don't need to be an "expert" or be on Broadway to come up to the mic. Sing a song, play an instrument, tell a story, perform an act, speak about your art. Anything you are passionate about.
We will affirm and celebrate all ages and abilities.
10 people. 4-5 minutes each.
Come participate and encounter something beautiful.
We’ll have hors d’oeuvres & beverages. Feel free to bring a little something to add to the table. Most importantly, just bring YOU.
The event will take place in our beautiful chapel space.
Wait, there's more? Yes.
We will have Musa Collective artists and Andrew Riley, documentary family photographer, displaying their (descriptions below) work.

Andrew Riley graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Graphic Design. Andy is a visual thinker and storyteller. When not designing, Andy enjoys documenting life’s moments, and is giddy when he’s captured an image that makes people feel something. Specialized in documentary family photography, Andy is inspired by its ability to capture, forever in time, real human emotions and honest connections between people. Real life is raw, vulnerable, tender, funny, awkward and brief. What's not to love? To learn more, click here.
