Neuro-affirming Open Mic @ Bakehouse Studios
About
Join us at an Open Mic night like no other - seeking to create a supportive environment for neurodivergent musicians. Join us as we celebrate the extraordinary music made by ND creatives, from any genre or career stage!
Open Mic sessions are a setting for emerging artists to gain performance skills, or more experienced artists to test new material, or return to the stage after a break. But Open Mic sessions don't suit everyone: for some neurodivergent people, there is too little structure, too much unpredictability, plus all the usual sensory, social and accessibility hurdles that exist in many live music venues.
We'd like to try and create a neuro-affirming, welcoming and inclusive Open Mic that is better designed for neurodivergent musicians!
Join us on Saturday 9 May from 6pm - 9pm, to enjoy performances by artists from a range of genres and career stages, held in the Scrap Museum at the iconic Bakehouse Studios, Richmond.
While we still hope to support spontaneous requests to perform on the night, we strongly encourage you to register in advance at the below link.
