The Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc. (NNN) invites you to the 6 th Annual Arts Café on Sunday, November 2nd from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Houses will be open to the community, showcasing the distinctive character of area homes and providing a unique backdrop for local artists, musicians, and culinary specialists to share their diverse talents.

The walking tour will revisit Cottage Grove Avenue, between Lindsey Street and Lincoln Way West, highlighting NNN’s continued progress. Not only does Arts Café provide a chance to see the hidden beauty of these older homes, but it gives participants the opportunity to celebrate local talent. The homes, and tents that line the walk, will be adorned with area artists’ work featuring everything from watercolor, pottery, photography, and jewelry in addition to culinary delights; all of which will be available for sale. Local musicians will add to the atmosphere providing music throughout the route for your pleasure; don’t forget to take a break at one of the main stages, under the tents located on both ends of Cottage Grove, to enjoy the music. There will also be interactive artistic opportunities for children.

Make your first stop the Welcome Tent, at the corner of Cottage Grove Ave. and Lindsey St., and pick up an event brochure and map. Arts Café is a free community event. Event parking is free.
