The venue's own homepage does not mention 'open mic' [s1]. A separate page on the same site carries a current weekly Tuesday listing, checked Sep 5, 2026: 'SONGWRITER SOCIAL w/JUSTIN PICKARD (OPEN MIC NIGHT)' [s3]. A news profile of the venue's co-founders, dated Sep 16, 2025, names the same host, Justin Pickard [s2]. Day, type, and host line up with this listing.

The sources disagree on the night.
The venue's own current schedule page states 'Open Mic Thursdays 8:00 PM' as standing programming (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The page carries no date, so this is a single, undated confirmation.
The promoter's own website, checked Aug 1, 2026, has a page titled 'Open Mic: 09.02.26,' a upcoming Sept 2026 instance, with an image uploaded in July 2026 and an archive listing past open mics through August 2026 [s1]. This series has reportedly been running for 21 years.
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
The venue's own dedicated page confirms, in present tense, that this runs every Wednesday at 7:30 PM [s1]. The page's only date information is its publishing metadata, from May 2025, not a dated event instance, and no other dated source was found.

The sources disagree on the night.
The Venue's Website describes 'Drinks & Drums Sundays! Live Band Karaoke & Open Mic Every Sunday 4p-1a' as current programming [s1]. This runs under a different name than the 'Black Canvas Open Mic Night' originally cited here. A search of the venue's page for that earlier name found nothing [s1]. Whether the open-mic portion is a genuine open-signup segment or just part of the karaoke format is not stated.
Sources mention Saturdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.

The venue's own dedicated open-mic page describes itself, in present tense, as the 'Longest Running OPEN MIC in DFW!' [s1]. The page carries no date or upcoming instance, so this specific claim from the Venue's Website alone does not confirm the event is still running now.
Sources mention Wednesdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The venue's own events page was checked directly and makes no mention of an open mic [s1]. Its homepage showed the same absence earlier. Other listings for this event — one on an open-mic listing site and one on a ticketing site run by an outside host with no confirmed link to the venue — remain unresolved against these negatives from the Venue's Website.

The organizer's own event page describes Classical Open Mic Dallas as a free, weekly event, giving a day, time, and address (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. These details match what this listing already shows. The page carries no date, so this is a single, undated confirmation.
A page on do214.com lists this night, but may not be current.
An events listing site has a page for this venue at a generic weekly-schedule address rather than a dated, individually posted event, so it is treated as a listing rather than direct confirmation from the venue [s1]. No venue-owned website was ever found, and the page itself showed mostly image and script content with no reliable date.
The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
Weekly on Mondays, 5:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own current events page was checked again on Aug 14, 2026 and still makes no mention of an open mic, even though the same page lists other current Monday programming [s1]. A specific dated event page for a Jun 29, 2026 instance timed out and could not be read, so the question remains unresolved rather than settled.
