Release: An Open Mic Experience
Release Open Mic: An Open Mic Experience (4 Years Strong)
For four incredible years, Release Open Mic has been a vibrant home for artistic expression, allowing artists to grow, connect, and let their creativity breathe. This space is built on intention — where poets, musicians, storytellers, and performers of all ages, identities, and skill levels are welcomed exactly as they are.
Whether you’re sharing something new at our open mic, revisiting a classic, or simply soaking in the vibes, Release Open Mic is where community events meet expression within the DMV arts scene. Step into a room that listens, celebrates, and holds space for your art.
Release Open Mic: The Touring Experience
Our home base is under renovation — but the energy doesn’t stop.
Release Open Mic is taking the show on the road!
We’re bringing four years of love, legacy, and artistry to venues across the DMV. Same vibe. Same culture. Same invitation to show up exactly as you are — just in a new space each month.
Stay tapped in for dates, locations, and special pop-ups as Release continues to amplify voices and build community citywide.
