What is The People’s Art Gallery?

A celebration of the artistic talent and diversity we have in our Avenues neighborhood! We set up an open-air gallery in the middle of the Avenues Street Fair, and we welcome entries of paintings, drawings, photography, jewelry and three-dimensional art from all ages.
