Join Art from Ashes facilitators, other youth from the community, and guest poets for a FREE poetry and spoken word workshop at Art from Ashes every Wednesday from 4 to 6 pm at 1310 West 10th Ave right next to the light rail station at 10th and Osage.
All young people between the age of 12 and 24 are welcome. We provide the writing materials, art supplies, guest poets, food and drinks… You provide the creative genius!
You can email us using the form below if you’d like to let us know you’re coming or want more information…and if you want to be sure you get some food. Or just drop in any Wednesday at 4pm!
Thank you so much to the Tony Grampsas Youth Services (TGYS) and Caring for Denver Foundation, and to all our business sponsors and individual donors who make these workshops possible!

First Friday Youth Phoenix Rising Workshop
2021-09-03 17:00 - 18:00 | Colorado
FOR YOUTH (12 to 24)
YOU ARE A CREATIVE GENIUS! Come share your voice with us and others every first friday of the month at the First Friday spoken word & poetry workshops, now happening virtually.
Prior to April of last year, First Fridays were celebrated in person at Art from Ashes in Denver. Due to the pandemic we’ve had to move online, but that means we’ve been able to have young people attend from all over the globe!
ALSO you get to hear one of our amazing performance poets from the community do a piece just for you!
Join us from wherever you are every First Friday and let your voice be heard!
Contact the Director of Programs here.
Did we mention we pay our youth poets when you perform? See you on Friday! ????????‍♀️
