The purpose of this Celebrating Brownsville Community Festival is to provide free art shows, food, children activities, musical performances, educational workshops and serve as an outreach to the Brownsville and the Greater Pensacola communities. This event draws a wide range of talented artists who provide insights into the contemporary art scene, and demonstrate the true value of Brownsville’s cultural diversity. This initiative serves to support the revitalization of Brownsville through the community’s engagement in the arts. Our mission as it relates to cultural initiatives is to identify the cultural significance and arts potential of the Brownsville Community Redevelopment Area and incorporate these unique characteristics into projects, programs, and events which encourage reinvestment, promote economic development, and enhance the community. This event will take at the Brownsville Community Resource Center at 3200 West Desoto Drive on Saturday, August 5, 2017 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A rendering of the site and preliminary budget are attached. |
