MISSION:
HELLO NEIGHBOR, SAV is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the intersection between people, community groups, neighborhoods, and organizations by providing free, diverse, all inclusive public community-based events. Through these events we hope to reduce cultural tensions and divisiveness in our community and positively impact social and economic disparity.
HOW IT WORKS:
Hello Neighbor was created to use ART as a catalyst for SOCIAL CHANGE. These events are created with the purpose of placing the onus of good community relations on each of us by providing platforms that encourage ways for us to engage with all our neighbors. Although everyone is encouraged to participate, a special invitation is extended to groups that promote social, political and economic equality.
We are so pleased to invite you to participate in the LIVE 2021 Hello Neighbor SAV Community Celebration, Sunday October 17, at Forsyth Park (bandshell area). To participate please Register you, your group, neighborhood organization or as a vendor here. You will then receive a confirmation email with follow up information as we approach the celebration.
Pre-activities will start with yoga at 10 am followed from 11am - 6 pm with a day of food, vendors, community booths, art activities, and entertainment. All day Hello Neighbor will host a citywide “Meet Your Neighbor: Community Celebration”, consisting of an interactive sculpture made collaboratively with the community and area Neighborhood Association groups called the “Monument of the Now”. We will also feature community speakers, artists, musicians, entertainment, neighborhood association booths, nonprofit services, kids zone, face painting, and activities for people of all ages, so please mark your calendars and register now.
