About Us
Words, Wings & Wine is a Baltimore-born cultural movement blending poetry, music, comedy, and live art since 2019. We’ve grown into one of the East Coast’s premier creative experiences—winning Best Open Mic at the 2025 Baltimore Crown Awards, debuting as the first African American–owned poetry show on Ticketmaster, expanding nationally, and adding live painting by Renee Cris. Baltimore birthed it. The country is next.
The Culture Travels Here
For 7 years, Words, Wings & Wine has served as a cultural platform spotlighting more than 400 poets, comedians, singers, lyricists, and creatives from across the country — bringing powerful voices to Baltimore for unforgettable nights of art, music, storytelling, and community.
🍷 With 42+ curated experiences and thousands of attendees impacted, Words, Wings & Wine has become one of Baltimore’s signature creative experiences — merging culture, connection, and live performance into a movement that continues to elevate Black artistry and expression.
