ARTSLINK WILL "TAKE IT TO THE STREETS" TO PROMOTE DOWNTOWN NYC ARTS

JOINS CLEARVIEW FESTIVAL PRODUCTIONS' STREET FAIRS FROM MAY 8th TO NOVEMBER 7th

From May 8th to November 7th, ArtsLink, the "cultural concierge" program of DowntownNYC!, will "take it to the streets" to drum up audiences for arts institutions, museums and community tourism attractions in Downtown Manhattan, Greenwich Village and the "Near North," including those in Chelsea and Union Square. A series of kiosk-based promotions will be held in street fairs in the Downtown area, courtesy of Clearview Festival Productions, a promoter of New York street fairs.

Each week, friendly and culturally-hip ArtsLink volunteers will distribute promotional information on theaters, museums and walking tours in order to assist residents and visitors in planning Downtown entertainment activities. The locations of each week's kiosk will be announced to the public through the organization's website, http://www.artslinkny.org/ .

ArtsLink will also organize money-saving co-promotions between arts organizations and surrounding businesses. The program is intended to provide economic stimulus for Downtown and to better acquaint both residents and tourists with cultural opportunities in the district.

Interested volunteers may call (212) 595-3258 to participate.
