SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23RD

• Garfield Super Block will hold a Paint the Park party with a free day of art and parkour as the community effort to improve the public space around Garfield High School and the adjacent Garfield Community Center continues to take shape:
  

  A center of these improvements is the Legacy and Promise Promenade. This pathway would fulfill the long-envisioned goal of connecting Horace Mann School, now home to Nova High School, just on the other side of Cherry Street, with the Quincy Jones Performing Arts Center in the center of the campus. Along the promenade would be artwork that represents and honors eight cultural groups whose history is integral to the Central District: the Duwamish people, the Jewish community, the African-American community, the Japanese community, the Chinese community, the Filipino community, and the Italian community.

• Capitol Hill Tool Library hosts a free introductory class exploring computer-aided design (CAD) program Onshape.
