  • Patterson-Appleton Arts Center 400 East Hickory Street Denton, TX, 76201 United States (map)

Free to attend — the more the merrier! Event is open to the Public.

So you say you can …… tell a story, move to the music, play an instrument, recite a poem, draw a caricature, do standup, teach origami and much much more? This is the event for you! We’ll be sitting “cafe style” in Festival Hall of the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center with an informal time to celebrate the creativity of Members and their guests.

Sign up for your 5 minutes in the Spotlight begins at 5:30pm.

For anyone signing up that evening from 5:30-6pm to "step into the spotlight" for 5 minutes, there's more info below. Sign up is open to 12 Artists Enclave Members, their guests and the general public:

  1. No microphone or special amplification equipment will be used.

  2. What you share in that 5 minutes needs to be family friendly as the event is open to the public including children.

  3. 2 to 3 people can sign up to share their 5 minutes together.

  4. Round tables will surround an open area on the floor level of Festival Hall so the stage won't be used.

  5. Think "outside the box" on what you can share in that 5 minutes from live music, original poetry or story, comedy improv, craft or art demonstration, dance, a reading from a play, a monologue, magic tricks, etc.

Special guest, Billy O’Leary, will share some great acting tips for attendees wanting to spend more time in the spotlight of film/television/stage.

Start the evening at 5:30pm shopping with Artists Enclave Member vendors whose creative work certainly garners applause! VENDORS: Christina Saenz, Christine Irving, Jo Williams, Kathy Hamilton Kelly Sutherland, Lea Hamilton Tonya Littmann

Beverages will be provided but anyone coming is encouraged to bring an appetizer that’s any color or many colors of the rainbow!
