Event Policy
Proposals for events are approved by the group during general meetings (Sundays at 5 p.m.), on a case-by case basis with emphasis on the purpose and inclusiveness of the event. Priority is given to events that further the social goals of the space (opposition to all forms of prejudice, bigotry and oppression), as well as those that are both accessible and welcoming to a wide range of people. To propose an event, fill out the events form and bring it to a Sunday meeting, or submit it to a 123 volunteer in order to have them present it at the meeting. It is best to attend the meeting where your event will be discussed in order to answer any questions that may arise.

An Eight-Week Workshop With Local Poets Introducing The Art Of Poetry And Spoken Word
Each workshop will give participants an opportunity to develop their unique voices as they create original pieces, and to learn about some of the greatest performance poets of our generation. The eight weeks of learning, sharing, and exploring will build towards a finale poetry night at 123. All participants will have a chance to perform at this event recognizing the talent and voices of the community.
We are looking for guest poets who would like to share their knowledge at a workshop. Please contact Tina G. if you’re interested:
