Glassless Minds provided me with a warm, welcoming space to share my art. I could not be more thankful with their help in building my skills and confidence.
— Nicole Rayann, poet
Glassless Minds made me care about poems. My life is my life because of poems. The work that I’ve heard, the people I’ve met, the conversations I had out front after a show, Denny’s or burritos, I am forever grateful for. I never knew how supportive a community could be until I spent the Thursday’s of my adolescence in Oceanside with this brilliant group of humans.
— Zane Timpson, Poet, Scholar, Professional Skateboarder
