OPEN MIC NIGHTS
What is Glassless Minds Open Mic Night?
Since 2010, Glassless Minds has been a home for poetry and creative expression, hosting a beloved community open mic night in Oceanside, CA, where voices rise, stories are shared, and inspiration flows.
Rooted in spoken word poetry and poetic storytelling, our events are a powerful platform for both teens and adults to share their voices, heal through expression, and be moved by the artistry of others. Each night features a dynamic mix: a host, a DJ, an inspired audience, open mic performers, and a spotlight feature artist, primarily nationally recognized poets. Our doors open at 5pm and sign ups for the open mic are first come, first served. Performers are called in random order to share 2 pieces or 5 minutes, whichever comes first. Whether you come to speak your truth, share your art, or simply listen and be moved, Glassless Minds is a space we’d love for you to call home.

TESTIMONIALS
“Glassless Minds helped me channel a voice that had been trying to find a way out. A place where I never felt judged or excluded, but warmly welcomed with open arms. They helped me create friendships and develop into a more confident human being. ”
“At Glassless, you feel like you are among like-minded people when you are there. The intimacy of venue, the love from the Glassless fam, the very recognizable energy, makes Glassless a unique member of the San Diego County open mic and poetry scene. I do not become the writer I am nor does the open mic I started become what it became without the love and support of Glassless.”
