Spy Hop Street Party

Spy Hop Productions, a nonprofit youth arts and education center, celebrates the end of its programming year before another school year starts showing off the art forms its students participate in—with movies, live music from student bands, theatrical performances and visual arts on display—in conjunction with Gallery Stroll.

Spy Hop’s large patio will be open, where you can dine on tacos from a local vendor’s truck, and the street in front will be blocked off to create a true street-party environment to end the summer in style. Spy Hop’s first street party caps off a banner year, with numerous successful projects. Virginia Pearce, director of marketing and community partnerships, explained, “We wanted to celebrate all our students have achieved and mark the beginning of new programs in the fall.” Spy Hop is the kind of artistic venue that enriches students’ experiences—you’ll be glad to know how creativity is being fostered in the next generation.
