Floasis Spoken Word Poetry

Floasis is a poetry venue based in the heart of Downtown Riverside, California. Established on March 17, 2011, it settled into its first home, the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf coffee shop on Mission Inn Avenue. The road to growth wasn’t easy but Floasis continued to push the spoken word movement despite its adversities. Then, with the increase of their following, came the time to relocate to a new creative space. In 2012, Back to the Grind coffee shop owner, Darren graciously opened his doors and the coffee shop’s basement is where they resided until March 2020. Recently, they celebrated 10 successful years of curating events and building their brand, and moved to a new venue at the historic Life Arts Center in Riverside, California to start their new chapter in. Every 4th or 5th Friday of the month, poetry lovers from near and far, come to get their souls fed from this one of a kind venue. Known for their unique themes, feel good music, positive vibes, and party atmosphere, Floasis doesn’t just bring its attendees poetry shows, but poetry experiences. It was started for the purpose of giving local, talented, up and coming artists a voice and a platform to showcase their passion. It is truly a spoken word movement and a poetic paradise for the floetically passionate. It’s the Culture. It’s the Voice. It’s the Movement. It’s the Soul. It’s Floasis.
