Our monthly Open Mic at One Longfellow Square is a space for sharing songs, discovering new voices, and spending time in a supportive creative community. This year, the series will be hosted by a rotating lineup of our 2026 Longfellow Emerging Artist Fellowship (LEAF) Fellows, each bringing their own presence and perspective to the room. Whether youāre performing or just listening, youāre invited to show up and be part of the night.
How It Works:
- Doors open at 6:30PM
- In-person sign-ups: 6:30PM – 7:00PM ā Drop your name in the lottery; weāll draw 10 performers (or 12 if time permits.)
- Showtime: 7:00PM – 9:30/10:00PM ā The night kicks off with a short set from our featured LEAF host before performances begin. Each artist gets two songs or 10 minutesāwhichever comes first.
- Extra Slots? If time allows, weāll pull more names at 9PM to keep the music going.
Performer Notes:

š± More About LEAF (Longfellow Emerging Artist Fellowship):
As part of the Longfellow Emerging Artist Fellowship (LEAF), each of our 2026 Fellows will host one of One Longfellow Squareās monthly Open Mic nights. LEAF is a yearlong program that supports Maine-based artists through paid performance opportunities, creative development, and deeper connection with their community. Hosting an open mic gives Fellows a chance to shape a night they care about – welcoming artists into the room, inviting a featured performer, and spending time connecting with an audience in a relaxed, low-pressure setting. These nights create a chance for the community to check in with our LEAF Fellows throughout the year – to see how their work is evolving, spend time together in the room, and support both the artists onstage and the program growing around them.
