Can't believe we're bringing something brand new to the Brazos Valley--our first-ever Mental Health Song & Poetry Festival!
This will be a FREE, one-night event, showcasing original song and poetry from local voices, all centered on mental health stories--the moments, thoughts, and the emotions that shape who we are. Whether it's your own experience or what you've witnessed in others, this is a stage for real, raw, and powerful expression.
We are looking for original song and poetry that speaks to mental health--whether it's about resilience, grief, identity, healing, or hope. This is your chance to share your voice on stage, connect with the community, and be part of a powerful night of creativity and care.
We are also lookimg for community partners. Want to support the arts and mental health in Bryan-College Station? Partner with us! From sponsoring performers to providing refreshments or resources, local businesses play a key role in making Hear Me Out a free, accessible event for the whole community. Your support helps amplify local voices and shows our community that mental health matters.
The festival will be FREE to attend and FREE to participate!
Performers will receive an honorarium and have the opportunity to share their work on a supportive stage. You won't want to miss this night!
Help us spread the word by inviting performers, friends, and family to be part of this meaningful celebration. We can't wait to hear your stories--through music, poetry, and the power of expression.

Song and poetry carry our grief and joy, weaving us together in ways conversation alone cannot.
