Young poets, rappers, spoken word artists, politicians, community members, businesses will celebrate the poetic voices of young people, and promote literacy and the arts at the 4th annual UniversalWord (RRSM).
UniversalWord aims to create an opportunity for young people everywhere to express themselves via the arts. Young creative individuals (9-19 years old) and 20+ can submit their poems, raps, rhymes, spoken word or all of the above to music. All submissions are of an open theme this year.
There’s a twist of sound added this year as Mercury Artists Management Canada & Paranoyd Studios give special performances throughout the night (The very 1st UniversalSound). You'll see performances by some of Vancity's top rappers singers, and performers.
Sponsors and supporters will be networking all night (and handing out freebees), so everyone a chance to build important connections for their future development in the arts. And awards and prizes will be presented to everyone who participates.
