Mayor Jorge O. Elorza and the Department of Art, Culture + Tourism (AC+T) are hosting the city’s inaugural Celebrate Downtown programming, PVD Field Day and Twilight Market, from 4-10 PM on Saturday, July 29th. Through this collaboration by AC+T and curators Paris Paris and The Collective, a three block stretch of the Washington Street Cultural Corridor between Aborn Street and Clemence Street will erupt with art vendors and installations, DJ and emcee performances, and a pop-up skate park.

This pilot brings together emerging artists and artisans with established vendors, helping to catalyze new entrepreneurial possibilities in the Creative Capital. By adding skateboarding into the cultural mix, the first Celebrate Downtown event builds on the success of PVDFest, where The Collective’s Kenric “Kenny” Swenorge built out an expanded pop-up skate park in Adrian Hall Way.

Celebrate Downtown programs aim to activate Washington Street throughout the coming months, and to help AC+T develop new ways to partner with and support the career-development of individual artists. More information is available at artculturetourism.com and on AC+T ‘s Facebook.
