Malden Courthouse Arts Festival set for May 14

  The city is hosting the Malden Courthouse Arts Festival on Saturday, May 14. As you might already know, the city is working to acquire the old Malden District Courthouse located at 89 Summer St. and convert it into the Malden Center for Arts & Culture. Malden Arts has been working with the City of Malden to develop a concept plan for the building for the past year, and a draft of that plan will be shared. The event will showcase the work done so far and preview the kinds of activities that will happen in the new center, including artist vendors, performances and workshops. You can read more about the project at www.mapc.org/maldenculture.

  The City of Malden would like to offer artists that participated in the Summer Festivals last year the opportunity to participate in this exciting event. The City will provide a 10×10 tent, one eight-foot table and a chair for artists. The event will be held from 12-4 p.m. Setup will begin at 11:30 a.m.

  Space is limited so please contact Evan Spetrini ASAP at espetrini@cityofmalden.org if you’d like to participate, or about any questions.
