Be Heard – An Open Mic for Women’s Voices at Artichoke Community Music – Portland, OR

Be Heard is an open mic for women’s voices. Music and poetry welcome. You’re invited to let your inner voice rise in a night of safe, creative self-expression. Come to share your song or story, or simply to listen and connect.

Hosted by India Nolen-Tuleja. India is a musician, event manager, and host who is heavily involved with artist advocacy here in Portland. Trained in music in New York City, London, and Austin, she blends the rigor of the city with the heart of her small town New England roots and brings a unique enthusiasm and dedication to our community. She curated and hosted a Thursday Night Coffeehouse show at The Artichoke which featured all women-songwriters and it was through that experience that the idea for Be Heard was born. She loves facilitating opportunities for women to have more of a voice in the world, be with each other in community, and express themselves in a warm and inviting environment. She is thrilled to be more involved with growing this special place called The Artichoke.
