“National Arts Drive” Art Festival From Lawns, Driveways & Balconies

Submitted by the Event Organizer

RAW: Natural Born Artists, is excited to announce, The National Arts Drive, a local arts fundraiser, and community experience.

On Saturday, June 20, 2020, from 1 pm to 4m pm PST, artists and creatives in every medium are joining together in a massive moment across the country to raise awareness and financial support directly to independent artists. Artists, creatives, and makers are invited to perform, showcase, and display their creativity from front lawns, driveways, balconies, and stoops during the same 3-hour period across cities and towns.

They have joined forces to call on the local community to take a drive through city blocks and suburban streets using an interactive map that will mark the performance and installation locations of participating artists. When drivers approach a location they’ll be able to donate directly to the artist from the safety of their car through a touch-free transfer.

Date update: The event was originally scheduled on June 6 but the promoters decided to move it to June 20, 2020 to stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests.
