The Block Party

At 1520 Arts, we believe in fostering an authentic connection between Hip Hop and our community. Our vision is to curate an immersive experience where individuals can express themselves freely, transcending barriers through the universal language of artistry. Through the synergy of local vendors, performers, and artists, we’ve crafted a safe haven for genuine conversations and uninhibited creativity.

Joshua Perkins, Co-Founder and CEO of 1520 Arts, encapsulates the essence of The Block Party, stating;

“Attending community festivals like the Block Party is an important representation of culture; in this instance, the culture of Hip Hop. Hip Hop means many things to different people, and we welcome you to join us as we learn each individual’s interpretation.”
