Also - as an extra perk, BCAA will list your event at the TOP of the weekly Arts Calendar in FEATURED EVENTS and share it on Facebook.

Let me know ANY Fridays you are interested in and I will try to get a partner for you. It’s a BCAA Member benefit to receive a reduced rate on these ads.

Sunday, December 9 from 5:30 -7pm
Café Aion
1235 Pennsylvania Ave, Boulder

Five minutes tops. Must be true. Told by heart.

December's theme: BAND

If you have a story to tell, you're invited to put your name in our hat. If your name is drawn, you'll come to the stage and tell your true, five minute story--without notes.

And if you don't want the mic this time, just come listen to a great night of storytelling!

Doors open at 5:30pm. Show starts at 7pm. Come early to enjoy some tasty dishes from Cafe Aion's kitchen!

General Admission is $20.

This event is sure to sell out, so get your tickets early and see you on December 9th! Visit www.storyslamboulder.com for more info.

The Art Space Directory is a matchmaking tool to connect creative people with creative art spaces. Owners and managers of rentable spaces submit listings to the directory, and space-seekers search the directory for opportunities. Use of the BCAA Art Space Directory is completely free of charge for space-seekers, and there are no fees to submit and publish listings. 

The Directory contains a list and map of venues with almost 300 art spaces with photographs and detailed information.

By using your BCAA log-in to our website, you can upload information for your venues and art spaces and make edits any time. You do not need to log-in to browse or search the Art Space Directory.
