MANCHESTER, NH – With all due respect to grandma, organizers of the first-ever Art Jam Bridge Fest want you to know that ‘This ain’t your grandmother’s art in the park.’
Unless, of course, your grandma is still a visionary with a timeless sensibility for what’s hip.
The day-long event, set for Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Bridge Street Bridge in downtown Manchester, is going to be hip, bold and expressive – an explosion of color and creativity. Experience paint, chalk, graffiti, horns, drums and all forms of music and dance from the East Side to the West.
Jump in and be a part of it. At this art jam, you’re not just seeing it, you’re living it.
Your $10 ticket will help local organizations fight the heroin/ opioid crisis in our community.
