Light The Mic Juneteenth
Every THIRD FRIDAY pull up to Splinter Collective for Tucson’s favorite curated artist showcase.
If you’ve never heard of Light The Mic, here’s the real: We’ve curated a creative community space rooted in joy, honesty, and cultural power.
This is not an open mic. We spotlight local artists of all mediums: rappers, poets, singers, comedians, musicians, dancers. Come ready to share what’s real, not just what’s rehearsed.
We believe in storytelling as resistance, Black joy as necessary, and art as community care.
It’s a room where:
The crowd shows love like family
First-timers get the same respect as veterans
Artists walk away with footage, community, and confidence
No clout-chasing. Just connection.
$10 at the door. Food, vibes, and a mic that holds whatever you’re brave enough to say.
Sound like you?
Come light the mic.
Or come feel what happens when someone else does.

By combining storytelling with sales and public engagement, SSWSS values women’s voices not only as expression, but as work worthy of compensation and recognition.
Women are still being paid less than men and they're forcing us out of the workplace. This is our response.
"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." - Maya Angelou
Over 350,000 Black women have been pushed out of the work force since this time last year. The safety nets have been removed. Archiving our intellectual property is how we survive. We all we got.
This exhibition is about authorship, ownership, and exposure. It’s about making sure women’s stories are told by women and witnessed by everyone. Uncensored. Intentionally. Honestly.
Centering Black women in literally ANYthing opens the doors for EVERYone else. See you in March!
Opening Reception:
