FreeVerse
FreeVerse Collective is committed to building spaces that center creativity, dialogue, and social connection. With Spotlight Sessions, we're taking that vision even further.
Where Art + Activism meet to Liberate Us.
FreeVerse is a revolutionary open mic series and cultural platform committed to amplifying radical imagination through art, truth-telling, and collective liberation. Rooted in Boston and resonating far beyond, Free Verse exists to uplift the voices too often left out; BIPOC youth, LGBTQ+ creatives, and emerging artists navigating systemic barriers in the arts.
We cultivate inclusive, intergenerational spaces where poetry, music, movement, and visual art become tools for healing, resistance, and transformation. Through curated performances, open mics, mentorship, and national cultural exchange, Free Verse empowers artists to share boldly, build community, and expand their creative reach across cities, borders, and boundaries.
