Lima, OH (WLIO) - Creativity filled downtown Lima this afternoon at the 3rd annual Legacy Arts Street Party. Legacy Arts is a non-profit organization made up of local small businesses and volunteers who have a combined mission to grow culture and creativity in downtown Lima. The street party is an extension of their mission, by bringing in over 30 local and regional art vendors and musicians to showcase their talents. Plus, there were local food trucks and activities for the kids thanks to ArtSpace Lima. Organizers believe that this event helps showcase the local talent while building pride in the Lima region.
“We knew that we could do this year, after year, after year, but I think some people in the community were a little skeptical. We saw a need in the community to throw this street party,” says Marc Bowker of Legacy Arts. “We got people walking up and down Main St. looking at art vendors, listening to music, eating local food. We have got a group of people that have shown that they have what it takes to succeed in business and when we work together, we can throw a party like this.”
