Now more than 100 members strong, Downtown Vision Alliance held its first social last Thursday. Graciously hosted by The Art Center Cooperative, about 40 guests – members and non-members – mingled amongst local art while enjoying refreshments and networking.
Guests were also able to enjoy Jaxsons Night Market across the street that evening. The market takes place the third Thursday of every month.
“This was a great kick-off to many more member gatherings to come, and it was great having multiple events in the same block to bring even more folks Downtown,” said DVI Director of Strategic Partnerships Valerie Feinberg, who manages The Alliance initiative. “We hope to create unique, exclusive member events where everyone can take full advantage of their Alliance memberships.”
