CREATIVE INTERVENTION

Saturday, May 5, 3:00pm-9:00pm 

block surrounding Center for Craft (67 Broadway)

 

Carolina Lane Creative Intervention is a one-day event with a specific focus: to experiment with unique public art installations, culturally diverse creative activities, potential streetscape changes, and infrastructure improvements in order to gather community feedback and motivate permanent change to take place in a way that satisfies local property owners, business owners, and residents. The Center for Craft and Asheville Design Center view the event as an important step in the development of a community-driven long-term vision for the downtown block defined by Broadway Street, Woodfin Street, Lexington Avenue, and Walnut Street. This event is free and open to the public. Visit our project page to learn more about the Broadway Cultural Gateway project. 

This event is made possible through the generous support of UNC Asheville, Center of Craft and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority.
