30 Jun First Thursday + Meet the ArtSparks artists

First Thursday is coming up tomorrow! Although I’m going to be out of town (again) — tomorrow promises to hold quite a few events that aren’t part of the typical First Thursday.

4Culture is organizing a brief artist talk/tour of the three current works on display at the park for this First Thursday Art Walk, July 1st at 5PM, meeting by the bocce court.

Artist Christopher Reitmaier; Jennifer Milliron and Edward Lalonde of MiLa; and Greg Lewis, Julia Khorsand and Caroline Davis of Room4Assembly will be on hand to give a short talk about the work that neighborhood residents and passerby have been so curious about.

New Art Walk maps have been also been printed to help you navigate your way through the neighborhood — they can be picked up from the concierge booth on the south side of Occidental Park.

I’ve also heard rumors that a new business in the area is planning a technological/artistic performance during the art walk, but they are secretive with the details so make sure you hit Occidental Square Park sometime during the evening.

And lastly, don’t forget about Parking For Peanuts — you can park for free in the Merrill Place Garage (between the hours of 5pm – 10pm) and all you have to do is show a receipt or a business card to show that you were there for the Art Walk/Art in the Park.
