We were the ones eager to walk amongst the thousands to sample the food and sounds of the city. That chick, mimicking Elaine Benes, jerking about-dancing and laughing hysterically to the street drummer? Yeah.... that was me. The Festival of the Arts near and around Calder Park (affectionately just called "Festival") was not, in fact, all about art, but rather culture. Various ethnic, spiritual ,and religious organizations proudly sold amazing street food, while street performers crooned or sketched for the enjoyment of the passerby. Excited to finally explore the GRAM and to explore the newest exhibit-- Black Waves: The Tattoo Art of Leo Zulueta, we were the two contemplating the Great Squares in the modern art section. And so begins the month of weekend fests!
