Soon after the Newark Bike Project relocated to Elkton Road in Newark last summer, the space became a hot spot for open mics and art exhibits. Scheduled for every other Monday, the events now have an official title: “The Goodbye Blue Mondays Open Mic and Artwork Event.” March 11 and 25 are this month’s Goodbye Blue Mondays open mics. Sign-ups start at 6 p.m. and performances go from 6:30 to 9 p.m. NBP is partnering with Mojo Main in Newark, where open mics begin Mondays after 9 p.m. Mojo will offer discounts for music lovers who attend both events.
