The festival will feature 15-20 exhibit sites along Payne Ave, spread between Phalen Blvd and Maryland Ave. They will showcase a coordinated, curated set of art installations inside store-front windows, on outside walls, on the sidewalk, etc., featuring the works of artists who represent the diversity of our community and have a significant message to convey about solidarity, justice, and equity. Passers-by will be able to stroll up and down on Payne Avenue and safely view the art from the outside, while remaining socially distant. The festival will also include a virtual gallery of all the art works in the show, with many of them available for on-line purchase.
The ‘SOLIDARITY’ theme of the festival is motivated by the many-faceted trauma we all have experienced this year as a society, and as individuals. The intent is to create a publicly visible, impactful setting for a diverse group of artists to express their views and feelings on racial justice and equity. Equally important, the event is seeking to provide an occasion for the entire community to experience solidarity in a meaningful way, share personal thoughts and impressions, and engage in all-important conversations.
