The Waterland Blog has obtained a copy of the letter that was sent out to the businesses in the Marina District of Des Moines last week. The folks at Poverty Bay Arts Festival are seeking 50 businesses that want to step up and host an artist on September 25th for the first Poverty Bay Arts Festival.
One of the business organizers, Vickie Bergquist of State Farm Insurance, told Waterland Blog that, “in our research we have found that businesses that are not normally open on Saturday, like banks for instance, will enjoy the benefit of additional traffic throughout the day.”
This event is a collaboration of the Des Moines Arts Commission, Marina District businesses, the Associated Students of Highline Community College and Des Moines citizens.
The Marina District includes Marine View Drive and 7th Avenue to the east and west and 216th and 227th on the north and south and all side streets in-between. Details to participate are in the letter below.
