This fall Wa Na Wari is taking art to the streets for our 2021 Fall Fundraising Event.
We are creating our own one-day art walk in the Central District, and it's called “Walk the Block.” “Walk the Block” transforms homes, businesses, parks, and other neighborhood spaces into outdoor, street-viewable art installations and performance sites. Enjoy visual art, video installations, live music, dance, and more as you stroll the neighborhood with family and friends. Walk the talk when you walk the block by helping to raise funds and build community with Wa Na Wari. All participants are required to wear a mask at the event. Participants can arrive and begin the walk anytime between 3pm and 5pm. This will allow participants to stay socially distanced throughout the walk. Dress warm and wear comfortable shoes. Participating Artists:
Barbara Earl Thomas, Sable Elyse Smith, Martine Syms, Marita Dingus, Lisa Myers Bulmash, Owour Arunga, Nia Amina Minor and friends, Kimisha Turner, Northwest Tap Connection, Zahyr Lauren, Chloe King, Black Embodiments Studio, Jazz Brown, Gary Hammon, DJ Riz, Larry Mizell Jr, Shelf LIfe Community Story Project and Vis-a-Vis Society. Featuring Food and Drinks By: Tarik Abdullah, Mama Sambusa Kitchen, and Central Cafe. |
