REMEMBER WHY WE STARTED. ✍🏾

Three years ago, Sharpen My Pen started with a simple idea: create a space where artists could get on stage, share their work, and get better.

From constructive feedback on stage, to making sure artists are compensated. From creating experiences the audience can enjoy, to making sure every person involved in the process feels valued.

The host.
The person at the door.
The stage hand.
The setup and breakdown crew.
The designers.
The artists.
The venue owners who open their doors.
The drink vendors who serve with a smile.
The vendors who bring their own art and products.

Everybody is a piece of the process.

And that’s what the building blocks have always been about.

@ese.network x Everybody Support Everybody.

This is an ESE activation, and I’m truly grateful that we’ve reached three years on this journey.

So today, we celebrate.

Come out tonight, share the space with us, support the artists, enjoy yourself, and help us celebrate three years of Sharpen My Pen.

🎟️ $15 at the door

And as always, if you need help getting in, reach out to us before the show. We’ll do our best to help..

We’ll see you tonight at the @greenroomsocialclub
