Glass Street LIVE
Date: November 3, 2018
Time: 11:00 am
to
5:00 pm
Word is out and we’re totally excited as the countdown to
Glass Street LIVE! begins. By now we hope you have saved the date for
Saturday, November 3rd and plan to join us on the corner of Dodson
Avenue and Glass Street.
The reasons we love our annual block party are many and
this year there will be even more. Our biggest news is we’re pleased to
now have the Gospel On Glass program officially a part of Glass Street
LIVE! Stay tuned for an upcoming blog feature on this year’s Gospel On
Glass musical director and curator, Deborah Bledsoe, as we announce who
will be on stage this year. What we can tell you now is that we can’t
wait!
We’re also excited to announce that there will be a Step Show added
to this year’s schedule of activities at Glass Street Live. Students
from UTC will be hosting a rousing step show competition including cash
prizes for the winners picked by the crowd! Don’t miss this and help us
pick the best steppers!
Glass Street LIVE! is now in its 5th year and we know for a fact that
our favorite block party is a great and memorable way to bring our
neighborhood together to celebrate everyone’s hard work. We are bringing
our streets back to life!
Of course, we are Glass Street and we are all about participation and
creation so there will be plenty of new fun ways for attendees to
explore their artistic side including kids’ screen printing, and even a
chance to envision the future in our exciting streetscape simulator.
Capes and Superheroes is also new this year where your kids can earn
their own superhero status while learning to lend a helping hand.
With new vendors coming each year, Glass Street LIVE! continues to
serve as a sort of culturally conscious mini-marketplace, where
residents can sell their own products and services amongst other vendors
and other nonprofits. Beyond food trucks, which often fit easily into
street festivals and public events, it can be hard to find a fit for
emerging homegrown goods and services that need culturally conscious
audiences and consumers. We’re proud to say that Glass Street Live
addresses this need.
Another crucial, meaningful and lasting impact of our annual block party, which is built on Better Block concepts,
is creating a healthy and safe place for kids who are growing up here.
Glass Street LIVE is a trusted neighborhood space where kids can play
and discover new things, while making memories with friends and family
in a place they know, love and trust.
Glass House Collective loves this annual opportunity to celebrate and
highlight all of our projects especially in partnership with the
residents here. This year we’re also looking forward to highlighting the
ideas and the individuals involved with all the progress we’ve made on
the neighborhood pride and streetscaping projects. Residents will be
showcasing what they have been working on all year as they own the
process of making change in their neighborhoods. Come meet these
change-makers and be inspired!
It can be so hard to compete with the negative and sometimes violent
headlines of our times. Producing a festival together helps us not only
mend the fragile fibers of our community, but also create positive
headlines and human experiences.
