The Sunnyslope Street Fair brings out a bevy of GLBT art collectors
The Sunnyslope Art Walk had a successful inaugural weekend, despite the fact the event was in direct competition with Phoenix Pride.
More than 80 artists showcased their work on April 12 at Sunnyslope’s first art walk event along Central Avenue, between Alice and Dunlap. Art included everything from watercolors and acrylics to etched ostrich eggs, jewelry made from turned wood, bent neon, sock zombies and handmade jewelry.
The Sunnyslope Second Saturday committee is pursuing the art walk as an on-going monthly cultural event in the Sunnyslope community.
“It was quite amazing,” art lover Bob Fernie said of the event, which attracted a large GLBT crowd. “There were literally hundreds of people there. I hope they will be having it on the second Saturday of each month. They said they would depend on the initial reaction, which was nothing short of tremendous — and they got the crowd there mainly through word of mouth and flyers at the businesses in the area.”
