The next event at Gateway City Arts by Human Error Publishing is a Holiday Celebration Reading on Dec 3.
This is a celebration of our community of writers, another year of Human Error Publishing putting on events, to help promote writers of the valley who have books and enjoy the readings, performances and each other as a community.
A great day to do your holiday shopping and support local writers.

Join us for a fun evening of open mic poetry! We invite you to bring your own works and perform them in front of a supportive crowd. There's no better place to find your voice and share it with the world! 
The sign-up list opens at 6:30 pm in the upstairs cafe and the mic opens at 7:00pm.

• Seating is first come, first served! 
• Each open mic slot gets you about three minutes of stage time.
• No need to memorize your work - just be comfortable and have fun!
• If you read someone else’s work, give credit where due. 
• Above all, show kindness to all. No hate speech, slurs, or sexually explicit language. 

Got a question? Shoot us an e-mail!

The doors open at 7:00 pm every Sunday, and we start with our “Poetry Slam.” The “Featured Poet” will start roughly at 8:30 pm, accompanied by the Blake Newman Group. After the Featured Poet, we have our “Open Mic,” also accompanied by the Blake Newman Group. There’s a $10 cover charge, and the Lizard Lounge is a 21+ venue.
