About Beyond the Mic: Art, Film & Special Events

When you step into our gallery space, you aren't just viewing art or attending a screening. You are entering a dialogue with the creators. Whether it is an exhibition on recovery, a raw independent film screening, or a therapeutic workshop, we keep our groups small so you can talk to the artists, ask questions, and actually engage with the work instead of just observing it from a distance.

Our events are as diverse as the community that visits us. At the heart of our space is a commitment to 'Art @ Urban Solace,' a gallery dedicated to visual self-expression. We curate exhibitions that matter—from deeply personal displays like 'Humanizing Recovery' to poetry-driven installations like 'Urban Rhythms.'

What we host

  • Art Exhibitions: Rotating displays by emerging artists that often bridge the gap between visual art, healing, and social storytelling.
  • Film Screenings: We collaborate with independent collectives like The Parallel Cinema Club to bring emerging filmmakers and their work to Bangalore, often followed by Q&A sessions with the crew.
  • Workshops & Circles: From 'Pen & Paper' therapy to mental health sharing circles, we provide a safe, non-judgmental container for exploration. We prioritize authentic human connection over polished, structured formality.
  • Spiritual & Intuitive Sessions: Events like 'Spiritual Sundays' offer a space for tarot readings and alternative knowledge, inviting introspection in a cozy cafe setting.

Everything we do here is about stripping away the noise of the city. We provide the coffee, the space, and the lighting; you bring your curiosity. Whether you are coming to learn a new skill, see a fresh perspective on a canvas, or simply meet people who care about the same things you do, you will find a place here.
