Artists Open Mic Night

Blueink Artists Open Mic Night returns on Thursday, August 20 | 5:00–7:00 PM, and continues on the third Thursday of every month.

This evening is a celebration of creativity and community. Whether you write poetry, prose, perform original music, tell stories, or have another original piece you'd like to share, we'd love to welcome you.

Performances are up to 5 minutes, giving everyone a chance to be heard in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. If you'd rather simply listen, you're warmly invited to join us as part of the audience and enjoy an evening of local talent.

The event is free, and registration is encouraged if you'd like to perform so we can plan the evening. We'll do our best to accommodate walk-in performers if time allows.

If you'd like to support the people behind the scenes who help make this event possible, there will be an opportunity to make a voluntary contribution. Your generosity helps us continue creating welcoming community events like this.

Join us for an evening of words, music, creativity, and connection. We can't wait to welcome you.

Kids Pastry Workshop at Blueink Bookstore & Café

Join us for a fun and delicious hands-on pastry event designed especially for kids ages 6–12!

While the kids are busy baking, parents can relax in our cozy café space, enjoy freshly brewed coffee, and connect with other parents in a welcoming, social atmosphere. It’s a delightful experience for the whole family — creativity for the kids and a well-deserved coffee break for grown-ups.

🎟 Admission: $14.99 per child
