Here’s how to join us:– All first-time performers must send a brief sample video of your talent to talentshowdiy@gmail.com anytime before the submission deadline of Sun., April 19th. Your submission is not an audition, but rather helps us diversify the program.– Sorry, but we are not able to accommodate walk-ins.– Previous performers can register at the same above email address.– Performances can be solo or in small groups. (Friends and relatives are welcome!)– Microphones and a piano are available on site for those who will need it.

Cake will be served during intermission! Donations will be accepted with 100% of the collection going towards future programming at DIY. Let’s keep it going for another 5 years! Invite your family, friends and neighbors! This one is going to be special!

Please bring a few hard copies of your lyrics to share (they’ll be returned to you). We have a piano available. Donations at the door

Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop
2026-05-13 19:30 - 21:30
Ekphrastic poetry, simply put, is writing poetry about the visual arts.
Together, we will discuss the current exhibiting artworks at Flemington DIY, using questions and prompts, both prepared and improvised, to help us creatively write in response to the local art.
After a mix of group discussion and individual writing exercises, we will share our poetry and hear what we all came up with.
In this process, we hope to create understanding of both ourselves and each other, through writing and thinking creatively in new ways stimulated by local arts.
