Continuum brings Art to the Heart of the Clematis District


Last night I stopped by the second night of the Continuum event that is taking place this week at 312 Clematis Street. The art and upbeat vibe was as good as any party you’d find at Art Basel or Wynwood.

The pop-up art fair was popping!

Earlier in the week, the parklet was placed in the parking space in front of the 312 Clematis space. This provided benches and a couple tables for people to sit, eat and talk. During the event, the parklet became a pedestal for a pop-up mural which was painted by Eduardo Mendieta.

If you’ve walked around the downtown area recently you can’t help but notice that there is art everywhere!  Seeing all the art, talent & creativity that we have in our downtown area come together for an event like lets people know that when it comes to Art and Culture we are in the loop.

Last night’s event was called “A Happy Hour with Bombay Sapphire” and featured stations where you could, learn how to make your own mixed drinks. Needless to say, this was a very entertaining process.
