Calling all rangatahi artists! 🎻✨🪇🕺🏽

Sign up for a cosy, supportive and whānau-friendly open mic! Sun 7 Dec, free to attend!

Kia ora koutou,

We have an awesome opportunity for our rangatahi artists to practice their craft in front of whānau and friends at Kāhui St David’s, a beautiful historic venue in Central Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

We warmly invite artists and performers of all experience levels to showcase your art, make yourself a cup of tea and enjoy Auckland’s up and coming artists!

This Open Mic and venue offers a great creative opportunity for youth and parents who want to be part of an all-inclusive, facilitated, alcohol-free safe environment.

There’s not many spaces in Auckland where people come solely to listen to musicians giving it a go, beyond talent, the heart of their sharing, and courage is what makes the evening magic.
