It all starts Friday at 7 p.m. with an opening reception at the art venue, Popps Packing, 12138 St. Aubin, with new work by Hamtramck artist and performer, Jessica Frelinghuysen.
After that, the sixth annual Hamtramck Neighborhood Arts Festival resumes Saturday at 12 p.m. with a bloody mary brunch at BUMBO, 3001 Holbrook Ave.
According to the Facebook page for the event:
From there the festival takes over the city as artists on the south side of Caniff open their home studios and music rises from backyards and empty lots. The whole thing moves from south to north as the day rolls on, culminating in a frenzy of events and performances and opportunities to imbibe in delicious beverages at Lo Behold, the Bier garden in the vacant lot on Campau , Elijah’s, and yes, back to Bumbos.
"The festival is artist initiated," says Steve Hughes of Public Pool art space. “That is, as organizers we just provide a framework for it to happen. But we don’t know just what we’re going to find from one location to the next. That’s the beauty of it. It’s completely organic. It’s homegrown. It’s 100% Hamtramck.”
