Open Mic at VENN in Oulu – The Joy of Performing and Freedom of Art
In 2026, Oulu will host a new, year-long program: Open Mic nights at restaurant Venn every other Tuesday starting January 13, 2026. These events offer a low-threshold stage for anyone who wants to try performing, share their art, and meet other artists. The evenings are open to all art forms. Poetry, spoken word, singing, rap, beatboxing, acoustic music, storytelling, stand-up, improv, dance, mime, or even experimental soundscapes are all welcome on stage. Each performer brings their own voice and perspective – the audience gets to enjoy diverse and surprising performances, while performers get a safe space to experiment, practice, and shine.
Sign up for the Tuesday, March 24 Open Mic event here Opens in a new tab no later than the day before the event! You can also check for available slots in person! Your performance time is 30 minutes. We do not pay performers a separate fee.
See you at VENN!
