Arts and Culture Fest This Weekend

Come out for one-of-a-kind crafts and support budding artists

It's just about time for the summer's first Arts and Culture Fest at the south east corner of Prospect Park.

"We are a group of people who are interested in making sure that artists and designers find ways of earning an income," said Atim Annette Oton, co-founder of The Creative Side. "The traditional process is that you do exhibitions and you sell at small stores. I think the economy has changed that dynamic for a lot of artists and designers."

The market, located just outside the Q train station at Parkside and Ocean aves., will take place every Saturday through the fall. The Creative Side is currently in the process of selecting who will sell at the event.
