Bez Community Stage Thursday Nights
Sign up 7:15 Show at 7:30
The world needs artists—especially in challenging times.
Artists help us see ourselves more clearly; they give shape to truth, offer connection, and remind us that we’re not alone. But sharing art is a risk, and most new creations rarely make it past the living room…
Thats’s where The Bez shines.
The Bez Community Stage/Open Mic
has grown into a genuinely supportive artistic hub—a place where musicians, writers, and performers of all kinds can step onto the stage and take creative risks without fear. .
Friendships form, collaborations spark, and week after week, a community of artists lifts one another up through the courage to share.
