Hauntingdon 2010!

HAUNTINGDON AVENUE 2010 Halloween Block Party!
October 31st
6 - 8pm
2900 Block of Huntingdon Ave

HAUNTINGDON AVENUE 2010 is a one-day community block party created by Remington residents for the community and the city of Baltimore to celebrate Halloween in a fun and safe environment. This year GRIA is partnering with Black Cherry Puppet Theatre to bring the art of puppetry to this already interactive event.

HAUNTINGDON AVENUE 2010 will brighten up the 2900 block of Huntingdon Avenue with a spooky festive spectacle featuring artwork and decorations made by Remington youth created in the community run Porch Art weekly workshops. It will also feature décor made by adult residents that result from weekly community craft gatherings.

Huntingdon Avenue residents are transforming their porches into interactive scary sets where you will be able to get your face painted, play a game, record a ghost story, or get your photo taken in costume! New additions this year include a puppet show porch brought to you from the guidance of Black Cherry Puppet Theater, walking street puppets, Hula Hoop master Spilly, stilt
walking from Paco Fish and performances by local musicians Ricky and Lennon La Ricci.

This special exhibit will be showcasing work from the two, well anticipated books that Andy will finally release on October 28th! IN THE AIR and SOUND OF FIRE focus heavily on the city's blossoming creative scenes, and set them against a backdrop of landscapes and every-day stories.
