Words, Wings & Wine is a Black-owned cultural arts showcase founded by Baltimore poet HeyTyce in 2019. It was the first Black-owned poetry showcase on Ticketmaster in Baltimore, and it's grown from about 50 people to 400-plus a show.

Feature comedians Paris Sashay and John Doe, hosted by Hollywood Timm, sounds by DJ Tenacious, live painting by Renee Cris, plus the paid open mic.
Over seven years WWW has been staged at 10 different Baltimore venues, and Black-owned venues were chosen on purpose along the way, to put our bookings into Black-owned businesses.
WWW has paid more than $75,000 to artists. Features can make $1,000 or more a night, and the open mic pays too.
The vendor floor is capped at five tables a show, one per category, so local businesses aren't fighting each other for the same customer.
“A lovely night of joy, laughter, and blackness being displayed. History was made and it will continue to be made.”
“There was humor, love, grit, and Black Excellence! I loved the sophisticated venue, lighting and valuable platform for upcoming poets.”
