This coming Saturday, February 10th from 1 pm - 4 pm.. the Center for the Arts & Culture at St. John the Baptist is opening it's doors once again to the community in celebration of..

Black History & Love.

We are hosting another wonderful afternoon of open-mic poetry at the Center, and you can expect the poetry performances to be hot.. and you know the Center's walls will be covered with all kinds of awe-inspiring and thought-provoking images of art as well.. by CAC@SJB family artists, Glenn Angel, Chantal Smith, Iandry Randriamandroso, Kris Echevarria, Jay Gonzalez, and more.

A full house jammed the Center at the Open-Mic Holiday Jam 2006 in December

THIS EVENT IS FREE.. and is open to everyone in the community.. both the young, the young at heart, and everyone in between! We are looking forward to having many of the young poets and performers who participated and rocked the Center at the Open-Mic Holiday Jam 2006 this past December, to come back, and join us again in honor of Black History.. and in Celebration of Love! It promises to be another memorable afternoon at what we all know is the "Hidden Gem" of Bedford-Stuyvesant.. the Center for the Arts & Culture @SJB. We hope you all come back to help us make this event happen!

Beautiful and gifted, Jasmine Kearse Canty, and Glenn Angel welcome you to the Center!

Remember, this is an open-mic event that will be open to anyone willing to get up to the microphone and share whatever you feel. You can read your own poetry, read someone else's poetry, read book excerpts, sing, dance, or just share your feelings. As long as it comes from your heart and soul.. it's all good! So, invite your friends and family to this special event that will be filled with some wonderful art.. and some serious poetry in honor of our nation's black history.. while also celebrating God's precious gift of LOVE. So, make sure you bring your love poems, too!
