Arts on the Block is a new block party for all ages hosted by Artspace celebrating the power of community and visual art. Historic City Market and Davie Street will come alive with local DJs, hands-on artist-led demonstrations, art exhibitions, make + take activities, and a special installation. Shop and eat local with 30 artisan vendors, City Market retail stores and restaurants, and guest food trucks while exploring visual art.
Community members are invited to attend Arts on the Block’s sensory friendly hour from 11:00am-12:00pm with no amplified sound and smaller crowds. Funds raised during Arts on the Block will support Artspace’s mission to provide accessible art exhibitions, affordable studio spaces, career-building artist residencies, low and no-cost art education programs, and community events.
