S.M.A.R.T cultivates community through the S.M.A.R.T. community Garden, by hosting the popular Second Saturday monthly artwalk and the annual A Day In Southtown event.
Second Saturday Artwalk, founded in 1996 by S.M.A.R.T. Executive Director Andy Benavides, is a family friendly monthly event in Southtown. The art walk has grown from serving 1,000 people to over 8,000 people annually. Each month S.M.A.R.T.'s 14 art studios open for the evening, creating a night full of art, music, food, fashion and community.
S.M.A.R.T. Market, provides a platform for 12 local artisans and 1 guest to share and sell their work every Second Saturday. We always reserve the 13th booth to create an opportunity for a school or small nonprofit free of charge. Vendor fees are invested back into S.M.A.R.T. programming to fund art scholarships and artists. We think that's pretty S.M.A.R.T.. Click here to apply.
The S.M.A.R.T. Education Garden brings together community by tending, nourishing, cultivating and teaching the importance of sustainability.
A Day In Southtown is Southtown's free annual celebration
of the creativity and community that seeds it's neighborhoods.
For this day, S.M.A.R.T. proudly sponsors up to 30 art education workshops spread throughout the District. Learn more about the event here: #ADAYINSOUTHTOWN EVENT SCHEDULE
