2 Blocks of Art - art walk & block party

SEE EVENT DETAILS
This FREE event will bring over 75 artists in some 25 locations on two blocks, 6th Street from Market to Howard Streets. The art walk will feature a range of art exhibits and live performances in galleries, bars, restaurants, a laundromat, coffee shops and a number of other storefronts.

New this year will be the premiere of a large-scale lighting art projection on the back of 16-story high 995 Market Street, coupled with the closure of Jessie Street to provide a safe viewing area.

The theme for the projection artwork is 6th Street Superheroes: real local people transformed by professional illustrators into fantastic characters. The illustrators selected for this project will record a full video of their sketches, which will then be edited into a time-lapsed video of the work.

2 Blocks of Art will also bring ‘Sketch the Block’ back for a 2nd year. Co-produced with Sketchpad Gallery, this one-night sketch con hosts artists in the fields of visual concept, comic books, and video games, offering affordable and accessible art to all.
