Spoken Word Poetry NYC | RoseGarden

ROOTED: An Artist Cultivation Lab

Rooted is an intimate, monthly artist residency designed for poets, spoken word artists, and creatives who are ready to deepen their craft and learn how to sustain themselves as working artists.

Led by International Spoken Word Artist, Teaching Artist, and Founder of The Rose Garden Events, JRose. This lab blends creative coaching, performance development, and real-world business strategy. Each session is limited to 10 artists per session, allowing for personalized mentorship, honest feedback, and intentional evolution.

Participants will be guided through writing practices, performance refinement, booking and outreach strategies, branding, and the often-unspoken realities of building a sustainable creative career. Rooted is not about rushing growth, it’s about building strong foundations, honoring process, and cultivating longevity.

Join us for 1, 5 or all 10 sessions!

8 Year Anniversary Open Mic Night

🌹 Back to our roots. Back to the mic. Back to the Garden.

When we closed the chapter on our monthly open mic series in December 2025, we knew we couldn’t leave the mic behind completely. So once a year, we return to our roots.

Join The Rose Garden Events for our 8th Anniversary Open Mic Celebration, an annual homecoming filled with poetry, music, community, memories, and plenty of Garden love.

Whether you were there in the early days, once graced our stage, cheered from the audience, or are stepping into the Garden for the very first time, you’re invited to celebrate with us.

Eight years. Countless voices. One Garden. 🌹

Come home to the mic and celebrate how far we’ve grown.
