FRUIT SALON - Readings & Art @ The Hoxton

Join us at FRUIT SALON, Berlin’s newest literature and art event, held quarterly at The Hoxton in Charlottenburg.

Author and performer Demi Anter (known from Glastonbury Festival, Electric Picnic, and EdFringe) hosts a brand-new evening that combines the best of open-mic poetry, an interactive art salon, and a unique community space—all in the chic winter garden of The Hoxton.

What can you expect?

The event on May 14 features: a short performance by your host, open-mic slots, a special still-life drawing session with artist Luca Bentley, and a raffle for decorative items donated by Berlin-based manufacturer Very Ugly Plates—proceeds go to dogs in need.

How does the open mic work?

You can find more information via the booking link on Eventbrite.

The goal of FRUIT SALON is to create a fun, energetic, and supportive event for writers of all experience levels and backgrounds across Berlin.

FRUIT SALON is ready for you!
