FIRST FRIDAYS ON PENN

Unblurred is a monthly happening sponsored by the Penn Avenue Arts Initiative, a joint program of the BGC and Friendship Development Associates.

On the first Friday of each month, people from all over the region stroll Penn Avenue’s Arts & Commercial District (between the 4800 and 5500 blocks) to meet with artists and local business owners. Visitors can expect to see everyone and everything. Families, singles, workers, students, long-time residents, and first-time visitors alike can experience the avenue’s creative energy while enjoying a mix of photography, dance, painting, sculpture, music, and spoken word performances. Check out some of the action below.
