Description

Ignite The Mic presents, "Charity Date Auction & Game Night." Ignite The Mic Alexandria is the longest running poetry organization in Central Louisiana, and the number one gathering place for artists and lovers of the arts. Ignite The Mic is a local and privately funded creative initiative centered around unity, inclusion, diversity, and healing through the arts. We believe freedom of speech, self-determination, and the pursuit of creative excellence are inalienable rights. Furthermore, we believe poetry can be used to create a healthy dialogue about issues, often deemed taboo to discuss. We strive to create an understanding and appreciation for diverse perspectives by cultivating and amplifying creative voices. The purpose of this event is to promote the creation and performance of art that engages communities and provides a platform for artistic voices to be heard uncensored. ABOUT THIS EVENT Go "bid" or go home! Gather your friends (and their money) and come out for a great time with a great cause. Bid on dates with Central Louisiana’s most eligible single guys and ladies. The date auction: even though we are trying to raise funds for a local nonprofit organization, it is also meant to entertain the general audience who just came to watch. Join us for a night of good fun and great vibes as we blend entertainment, charity, and poetry as we continue to impact our local community through the arts. This is a fun, innocent, charity event. Winning bidders must understand that the dates have no obligation beyond the agreed upon appointment. Poets, singers, musicians, and more: the stage is yours! Want to sign up to showcase your talent?
