The next Arts and Humanities Open Mic Event will be 11 a.m. to noon Friday, Nov. 9, in the James S. Murray Gallery, Menard Hall upper level.

Lincoln Land Community College students, employees and faculty are eligible to participate. Deborah Brothers, English professor, will facilitate the event.

“Open mic means any written or spoken word as well as acoustic music” because classes are in session near the gallery, Brothers said. Sound level will need to be kept to a level that will not disturb them.

People who wish to participate can email Brothers at [email protected] to sign up.

“It would be great if people want to sign up in advance,” Brothers said. “But it is not necessary.”

Advance sign up should be completed by Thursday evening, Nov. 8.

“We want to do all we can to promote the arts and humanities at LLCC, and we’d like to host some daytime options that are more informal and spontaneous,” Brothers explains.

Brothers said she would like to schedule open mic events a couple of times each semester.

The previous open mic event occurred Sept. 28 during All Lit Up, LLCC’s Second Annual Arts and Humanities Festival.
