Pink Line Project art walk makes history!

"Overall, the First on 1st Art + Music Walk made history and excited the local community." Wow! That's what the NOMA News had to say about the art walk that Pink Line Project helped organize a couple weekends ago. Can't wait for next year! You can still check out the art through August. Pick up a map at Big Bear Cafe or Windows Cafe and follow along.

The above picture is from artist Margaret Boozer who did a super cool art installation that had everyone playing in colorful dirt. See more of her pictures here.

The maps included a directory of businesses in the NCMS corridor and an art hunt (scavenger hunt) in which participants located answers to questions pertaining to the local businesses and displayed art on 1st Street, which started at 87 Florida Avenue and concluded at Window’s Cafe.
