One more thing we're really excited about for this weekend is the Franklinton Art Walk, a project spearheaded by Columbus Public Health!

We'll launch the Art Walk this Saturday and you can pick up maps or go on a guided walk with a volunteer at 5 pm Saturday! Get a sneak peak of the walk and map here:

New at GO WEST! this year is "Rooms to Let", an innovative temporary art installation in a vacant house at 49 Martin Ave - just steps from the event.
It's very cool. Take a look...

Go West to Franklinton for Art, Music and More
By Lauren Wilson | June 8, 2011 10:30am

Ã¢â‚¬Å“Go west, young man, and grow up with the country.Ã¢â‚¬Â

Scratch that.

This Saturday, the Franklinton Development Association invites everyone to Go West (West Broad Street, that is) and grow up with the city.

Go West is FranklintonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s annual art and music block party, and everyone is welcome. For the third consecutive year, downtown Franklinton will transform vacant buildings into art galleries, a parking lot into a concert venue, and for only the second time in its 20-year history, TommyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Diner will stay open late for dinner.

fwiw, we went last year and had a great time. We'd be going this year if we were able to, but we are going to have to miss this years event.
