Relaunched under the helm of Ellen Forney, Blitz Capitol Hill Arts Walk debuts tomorrow June 11. In Ellen’s words:

“Did I tell you I’m on the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce now? Yes, and I’m the co-chair of the Arts and Entertainment Committee, and we took on the Capitol Hill art walk as our signature project. So now it’s every second Thursday, visual art and literary arts and music and performing arts, and for the launch on June 11 there’ll be an Art-on-a-Stick Parade and some street performers and at least one after-party. It’ll be fun, here’s a postcard, you should come!”

---

The Art-on-a-Stick Parade begins at the Broadway Performance Hall Plaza at Seattle Central Community College. Artists and members of the community are encouraged to join in and present their talent to the public. The parade will follow along a route of businesses participating in Blitz and will end at performance space/tea house, Electric Tea Garden where the artwork will be displayed.  The Electric Tea Garden is also hosting the Blitz after-party, featuring DJ’s and dancing.
