Lemme tell you straight out: THE SPARK IS BACK IN FLINT!
In the past 5 to 10 years, Flint has seen a HUGE amount of revitalization and reinvestment on the part of residents, nonprofits, businesses, foundations and arts organizations.
Downtown Flint is now home to several art galleries, restaurants, cafes and businesses. We have a yoga studio, hair salon, bookstore and tshirt shop. We host dozens of art shows, music festivals, car and motorcycle shows, road races and other large events.
One monthly event that you MUST check out is ArtWalk! Hosted on the second Friday of each month by the Greater Flint Arts Council, ArtWalk features exhibitions and vending by local artists and crafters in multiple locations on Saginaw Street.
The July 2010 ArtWalk was outstanding!
