The District’s Mt. Pleasant neighborhood welcomes the 11th Annual Mt. Pleasant Youth Arts Fair and art walk from May 4 to 31. This year’s fair features artwork from seven schools and after school programs displayed in the neighborhood’s interim library and in businesses along the Mt. Pleasant St. NW commercial corridor. Student artists from pre-K through high school have created artwork in a variety of media around this year’s theme: “Springtime in Mt. Pleasant.”
The art is displayed in 11 locations, including the Mt. Pleasant Interim Library and these businesses: Mt. Pleasant Care Pharmacy, Past Tense Studio, Heller’s Bakery & Cafe, Old School Hardware, Tex-Mex Burrito, Angelico Pizzeria, Las Americas Dental Health, El Pollo Sabroso, Dos Gringos Cafe & Ice Cream Parlor, and Nana.
An art walk map that highlights the exhibit locations is available at the Mt. Pleasant Interim Library and the Mt. Pleasant Care Pharmacy, and online at artwalkmap_2011
