Secret Souls Walk

This is the big event many have been waiting for but Public Dreams isn’t going to tell you where the Secret Souls Walk is happening until the last minute. If you’re following them on Twitter or Facebook they’ll make the announcement on the day of the Secret Souls Walk, Saturday, October 29, 2011. The walk will then take place from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.

All of these events and more are presented by Public Dreams who promotes community participation in the arts by providing interactive and accessible public art programming.
