The artists include Troy Duff, Elisheba Israel Mrozik, Kristin Llamas and Andee Rudloff.
On Saturday, April 17th from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Fifth + Broadway will celebrate the unveiling of art-themed events with dozens of artists available for meet and greets. Sidewalk chalk artists and in-store art events will be found throughout the property.
This community program is a further expansion of Fifth + Broadway’s commitment to the arts, which are infused throughout the project. The project opened with two large murals painted by local artists Nathan Brown and Tarabella Aversa.
