04 Aug 619 Artists to Still Participate in 1st Thur Art Walk…Outside

After being told that they would have to move out 6 months earlier than originally planned, the artists at 619 were also told that they could not have public assemblies in their building after August 1st, preventing them from participating in the monthly art walk. Instead, they are holding their art walk as usual, but are doing it outside.

From their Facebook page:

We’re taking it to the streets!!

619 Artists will be outside for August and September! Come join us in a street festival style setting as we display our work in the parking lot adjacent to the building! Who wants to be inside when the weather is going to be this nice anyway~

For those artists who have permanent installations or need to do art sales from inside, all 100 tenants as well as 40 members at any given time of the public will be allowed to be in the building. This way everyone can be a part of Art Walk for the next few months!

Come Join Us!
First Thursday Art Walk
6:00-9:30
