Join us for this free, not-to-be-missed evening of curated and competitive verbal expression and cheer on your favorite poet!

ARTiculation at Arsht, Summer Slam Edition, is a slam poetry event in which local, regional and national poets will perform their original work for a chance to win up to $1,000. Competing poets will be judged by members of the audience and three invited spoken word connoisseurs, including Octavia Yearwood and Darius Daughtry. Witness storytellers transform their words into performances that remind us of the integral role poetry and spoken word play in our culture.

Slam poetry is the competitive art of performance poetry. It emphasizes the writing and performance of poetry and encourages poets to focus on what they're saying and how they're saying it.
