Art from Ashes

First Friday Youth Workshop
2022-05-06 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Denver) | Art from Ashes, 1310 West 10th Ave., Denver, Colorado, 80204
FOR YOUTH (12 to 24)
YOU ARE A CREATIVE GENIUS! Come write some 3-minutes poems, listen to the powerful spoken word of a local performance artist, and eat some pizza!
This month’s guest poet is KYLEE C!
Did we mention we pay our youth poets when you perform the poems you write in our workshops? You can share your hopes, dreams, and ideas with us and others every first Friday of every month.
Let your voice be heard!
Contact the Director of Programs with any questions below or just show up here!

First Friday Performance
2022-05-06 18:00 - 18:45
FOR ALL AGES

Join us every First Friday for youth spoken word performances!
Show support for the young people who participate in our Phoenix Rising youth empowerment program. Listen as youth poets ages 12 to 24 tell their stories in metaphor through poems written in only 3 minutes.
On May 6th we hope to see you at one or more of several locations where we will be participating in activities and hosting performances (luckily, they are all close to each other!)
From 2 to 9pm, our table will be set up at the Queer Art Showcase, hosted by OUT FRONT Magazine and located at SKYLIGHT, 833 Santa Fe Drive. Swing by and say hi while also shopping for local handmade goods (more info here)
We also will be at Strawberry Mountain, an awesome up-cycled clothing store (conveniently right next door to SKYLIGHT) for a street performance featuring our youth poets, slated to begin at 6:30pm.
Celebrate community with Art from Ashes!

Just before the public performance, youth gather at our location at 5pm for a FREE one-hour Phoenix Rising writing and performance workshop, featuring a local poet. All youth are welcome.
