Events

PLEASE NOTE: events are subject to change. In the case of change or cancellation, the Pittsburgh Poetry Collective will provide updates as they become available.

We have partnered with Poetry Lounge for open mic every Tuesday – check out everything they’re doing!!

The Pittsburgh Poetry Collective exists to celebrate the power of your voice. We make and hold space for self-expression & identity exploration via spoken word communities, poetry slams, writing & performance workshops, and poet showcases. We believe that poetry heals, speaks, connects, and shares our experiences, similarities, and differences. We welcome individuals of all gender identity, racial identity, background, class, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, ethnicity, lifestyle, age, or disability and by participating in our event actively or inactively you’ve agreed to welcome everyone as well!

We have spoken with our venues and partner organizations before agreeing to collaborate with them and believe that their goals/ideals align with ours. We feel confident that this is a space that will blend together communities and help build relationships. Any questions or concerns please contact us.

Our Bylaws, Values Statement & Release, Land Acknowledgement, Conflict Resolution Procedure, and EO statement are available at https://pghpoetry.org/get-up-on-stage-and-read-poetry/
