Rock to the Future is kicking off the year with a Youth-Led Open Mic Night!
The event takes place on Thursday, January 22 from 6–8:30 PM at One Art
Community Center in West Philadelphia for an evening of music and creativity.
Concert Creators students are running the show behind the scenes and will
also take center stage to showcase their talents. Teens ages 13–19 are
invited to grab the mic and share their voices, while community members are
encouraged to come out and show their support. Admission is free, the event
is open to all, and—of course—snacks will be provided!
