Bloomingdale neighborhood art + music walk tomorrow

We spend so much of our lives fighting traffic so we can sit around in square white boxes in sterile office buildings and communicate with each other via text messages, emails, and Facebook. Wouldn't it be nice to get outside and hang out in a really cool neighborhood with friendly folks, listening to great music, looking at some really nice art, and enjoying a glass of free wine? Here's your chance! Come on down to the Bloomingdale neighborhood tomorrow and have a good ole time doing all those fun things!

Pink Line Project brought in a cross-section of artists from across the city to install sculpture in some residential front yards and other kinds of art inside some of the businesses. Pep Rally For Peace organized the diverse music. Grab a map/program to find the art and music. There will be questions for you to answer on the map. Fill in the answers that can be found along the way, show your correct answers to a Pink Line Project volunteer at either cafe, and receive a free beverage thanks to North Capitol Main Street.

You also get to play with dirt tomorrow! Clay artist Margaret Boozer is setting up a really cool installation at 1837 1st Street where you get to create art using clay she has dug up from all over the place. You will be absolutely amazed by the natural colors! Here are the first two squares she's done to get you started.
