Come share your musical passions at Belmar Art Center's Weekly Open Mic and Music Workshop! Every Tuesday, sign-ups start at 7pm.Attention songwriters and musicians, a new open mic is town. In addition to the monthly open mic we have, we are facilitating a WEEKLY open mic and workshop, every TUESDAY for artists to hone and share their amazingness and receive feedback. If you wish to share an original of yours, awesome. If you want to play a cover, great. You may want to just share an idea with a band to see what it sounds like. That's great. This open mic is designed for collaborators and experimentalist alike, to try new things, and be open to different possibilities. Join Multi-Instrumentalist Andy Demos every Tuesday Night.
This is a Belmar Arts Shared Interest group run by Andy Demos adreamos1@gmail.comPlease email Andy if you have any questions or concerns.
Guests are warmly welcomed for any two open mics but after that a membership to the BAC is required. ($35/year and goes to a great cause)

Join us for John Waters' notorious 1972 cult classic "Pink Flamingos," starring the inimitable Divine as a self-proclaimed queen of filth competing in a grotesque rivalry for the title of “the filthiest person alive.” Waters uses camp, drag, and excess to expose the hypocrisy of moral respectability and the performative nature of celebrity. Outrageous, rebellious, and defiantly disgusting, Pink Flamingos, part of Waters' Trash Trilogy, remains a radical statement and an important chapter in movie history. In 2021, the Library of Congress selected "Pink Flamingos" for preservation in the US National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Enjoy a cocktail and dress as Divine as you dare - prizes for best look!
Rated NC-17. This 35mm presentation of "Pink Flamingos" is part of the I. Joseph Hyatt Classic Film Series.
