ArtBeat Proves 'Art is for Everyone' with Strut the Hooch and more this Saturday


ArtBeat 2019 runs April 1 - April 15 this year. The annual two week period engages the community by displaying the role of the arts locally. The arts provide inspiration in economic activity in our region and give back to the community year round, but ArtBeat highlights this effort every year through its multiple events and outreach programs during the festival.


Inarguably one of the most influential ArtBeat events is the festival's annual Art is for Everyone event. Typically on a Saturday, Art is for Everyone is a community-wide day of events showcasing the arts complete with exhibits, activities, performances, and a parade.

The parade is entitled Strut the Hooch, and is one of the highlights of each year because it embodies the mission of ArtBeat so well. Steve Scott, the parade's founder and local arts supporter, looks forward to the annual parade of joy and silliness every year.


"I started Strut the Hooch because there is just too much anger and meanness in the world," explained Scott. I wanted to create an event that celebrated life, diversity, and joy in our community."


The annual parade draws around 300 people each year. Past years have included legions of Springer Academy students, puppeteers, musicians, children, grandparents, and more. Scott said he loves seeing the different crowd that shows up each year.

Not ready to jump in the parade? Just watch instead.


"I'm most looking forward to seeing the creativity that people come up with this year. I love the energy of the crowd, and the smiles on the faces of the little kids on the curb when the parade passes by each time."


There's much more to do during Art is for Everyone this weekend. For more information on everything there is to see and do this year, check out the schedule below. We've also included ArtBeat's map of public art, and links to more information about each event.
