THANK YOU for featuring HNAF 4 weeks/issues
and to all who supported and attended!
Hamtramck’s Neighborhood Arts Festival takes over the city
By Charles Sercombe
Hamtramck not only experienced a
perfect fall weather day last Saturday,
but also a city-wide arts festival.
Hamtramck artists were once again
in the spotlight in the 16th annual
Neighborhood Arts Festival this past
weekend, and, by all accounts, it was
another smashing success.
“Each year we develop and grow HNAF,
and this year we’re excited to offer
such a vast selection of events, as that
so represents our Hamtramck commu-
nity!” said co-organizer Timothy Price.
“Also, we’re honored to coordinate and
partner with such a variety of artists, ve-
nues, and arts and cultural institutions,
along with Hamtramck businesses!” he
added.
Price had earlier described the event as
a “loosely curated showcase of artists,
writers and musicians.”
He continued:
“This isn’t your typical festival; partici-
pating creators in the community host
the audiences in their home studios, on
front porches, or in parks, coffee shops,
or galleries around the city.
“It’s a community-organized festival
that allows anyone in the city and the
surrounding neighborhood to contribu-
te to, or host, an event.
“The HNAF embraces the idea that
art is for everyone – all are welco-
me to participate, and all are welco-
me to tour the artists’ workspaces
and attend the day- (and night-) long
events.”
