Third Thursdays @First is your new home for the vibrant art community—a welcoming space where music, visual art, poetry, and storytelling come alive. First Congregational Church of Westfield invites musicians, artists, poets, and storytellers to join our new open mic series, Third (3rd) Thursdays @ First. Inspired by the creative spirit of the coffee and teahouses of the '90s, this series is designed for artists and art lovers to connect, share, and celebrate creativity in all its forms. If you are 16 or older, come as you are and showcase your talent—whether through performance, spoken word, or visual art. Performers must sign up in advance for a 10-minute slot (first come, first served). We request a $5 donation from attendees; coffee, tea, and light snacks will be served. All proceeds support future open mic nights and community outreach initiatives, helping to nurture and grow our local art scene. Sign up below to perform or to volunteer!
