The free event features musical acts, group dance activities, a tie-dye station, a bubble fairy, s'mores kits, and a new display from Fuzzpop Workshop, which introduced 'giant cosmopods' at last year's ArtBlaze. It's also known for installments at Summerfest and the exhibit Deep Lake Future. Attendees were also able to make their own art with by Arts@Large, Artists Working in Education, and VIBEZ Creative Arts Space.
ArtBlaze is a family-friendly event meant to celebrate community and the city's artistic spirit.
