Poetry 719

Poetry719 is a community poetry organization in Colorado Springs that fosters and supports the freedom of expression through the written and spoken word. We focus on uplifting and celebrating voices of marginalized communities and people of color. As a black run organization, we aim to create safe, inclusive, and accessible events. We put on 3-4 events a month including open mics, discussion pannels, movie showings, volunteer opportunities with nonprofits, and themed poetry nights. Our tag line is "Art Aint Free" and we pride ourselves on paying artists and providing performance opportunities.
