The 30 + Festival, to be held Sun., Sept. 27, from noon until 10 PM,
will celebrate the founding of studios on 6th and Trade Streets during the
early 1980's by a handful of artists and guided by visionary artist Ron
Propst and wife Tamara Propst. This pioneer effort was the seed for
what has become the Winston-Salem Downtown Arts District. The Arts
District has continued to grow into the vibrant and eclectic mix of galleries,
studios, shops, businesses and residences, saturated in the arts and the arts
life, that is found today along 6th, Trade and Liberty Streets.
The Downtown Arts District
Association (DADA), Is another product of those
early group efforts and is the coordinating organization for 30+.
Plans for the festival began in the fall of 2015 and will
include visual, performing and literary arts by Arts District Artists - The Dance
Stage to showcase various types of movement, a Literary area with
readings, booking signings and more, extensive Art and Craft demos and
Exhibitions by galleries and artists studios, some of which are opening
especially for the festival, Food & Beverage areas by district
restaurants and bars, food trucks, The 30+ Chalk Contest on
Liberty St with adult & youth categories a film and image screenings
by district artists and the 30+ Stage located in the intersection of 6th
and Trade featuring headliner The Devon Allman Band, son of legendary
bluesman, Gregg Allman.
