Through the Eat Street Fall Arts Fest we were able to successfully promote arts access by providing a low barrier platform for local artists to display their art while also promoting public art in a previously unutilized community space. With displays from institutional partners, cultural dance and song performances, live mural painting and 14 new or first time artists selling products we were able to further connect the artistic community with each other and the community at large. The event was well attended by a diverse audience, informational partners reported quality engagement, and all artist showcase participants had positive sales days with several making their first public appearances, nearly selling out of pieces.
