For 6 years strong, Art VS Life has been holding space for raw, real, and reflective performances in the heart of Bushwick. Hosted every Monday night at Starr Bar, this open mic is home for artists of all levels to show up, share their voice, and be celebrated by a community that listens with love.
🎭 All performance styles welcome — music, poetry, comedy, storytelling, movement
⏱ 5-minute slots, with full tech support for instruments and backtracks
🌱 Respect the space — no harmful content (racism, transphobia, misogyny, etc.)
🎤 Karaoke after the mic — open and unthemed, just pure joy
🎟 Tickets
- $3 – Attendee (enjoy the show, support the artists)
- $5 – Performer (3 min slot)
- $10 – Performer Plus (6 min slot)
Art VS Life is for the artists building from the ground up — the ones learning to be their own team, without losing their soul. Come through. Bring your truth. Let’s build something beautiful, one mic at a time.
