Join Springboard for the Arts for an anniversary and community appreciation party featuring artist-led activities, live performances, food, and creative fun for all ages.
Fall Fest is for you—whether you’re an artist, a neighbor, or someone who believes that art and creativity make our world a better place. Join us to celebrate the power of our creative community!
This year, we’re excited to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Ready Go, Springboard’s program that connects communities with artist-created mobile tools designed to spark curiosity and prompt interaction. At Fall Fest, you’ll get to experience Ready Go favorites like the Mobile Sign Shop, Sewing Circle, Streetcorner Letterpress, and the WOW Metal Mobile Lab, plus brand-new tools including the Coozie Up Cart and Printmaking INC.
Additional Fall Fest artist-led activities:
• Live performances from TaikoArts Midwest, Tina Jackson and the Line Dancers, and Drag Story Hour
• Music by DJ Glo
• Pop-up temporary tattoo parlor with Bryce Burton
• Snail Mail Party with Z Akhmetova
• Mini artist’s market with D the Artista and You’re the Party
• Face painting by Keshawn’s Characters
• A pop-up of kittens from Pet Haven (*Yes, actual kittens!)
• Music with Keith Lee
• Artist led activities with community partners Frogtown Farm, Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, Rondo Community Land Trust, and Paper Lantern Project (a member of Springboard’s Incubator fiscal sponsorship program)
• Refreshments from El Burrito Mercado food truck and La Michoacana Monarca paleta cart
