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 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 kindly ask performers to please refrain from using any explicit language. We reserve the right to halt any performance that is offensive or explicit.

$5 at the door; coffee and tea available; BYO snacks and drinks (no alcohol or cannabis products).

All proceeds support future open mic nights, helping to nurture and grow our local art scene. Sign up below to perform or to volunteer!

Registration is now open for May 21!
