On Saturday, July 10, from 1–3 p.m., visit the Dogtown Business District for a block p-art-y! The event will take place in the Lucky Horse parking lot, located at 2331 University Ave. There will be free food and refreshments provided from local Dogtown businesses, while supplies last. This event is in collaboration with the Drake Neighborhood Association, Drake University, and Invest DSM.

As part of the celebration, check out the interactive sidewalk art experience between the 23rd and 25th Street blocks of University Ave. Adventure off the main path and discover the hidden murals in the Drake neighborhood. Find them, snag a pic, and post the photos with #dogtowndsm.

Watch Drake social media for a chance to win a Dogtown T-Shirt if you use #DogtownDSM.

This event will kick off the Color Your Palate Block P-Art-y event series, which will feature block parties throughout the Drake neighborhood the following two weekends. Come “Color Your Palate” and explore this beautiful neighborhood.

The public art installation is provided by Invest DSM’s Artist In Residency Program. The 2020–2021 Artist in Residence is Eleanor Kahn. Learn more about these events and Eleanor’s work at eleanorkahn.com/color-your-palate-party-locations.
