The Panama Art Factory set up shop at the Crocker Block by Block Party and we had a blast! The Panama Art Factory is host to 30 Sacramento artist studios and is also TUBE.’s official headquarters, on Saturday, July 9, 2016, we packed up our art, ourselves, a couple issues of TUBE. and spent the day partying down with the Crocker.
Block by Block engages the community to interact with and be entertained by both the visual and performing arts. The block party was held on 21st Ave and spanned between Stockton Blvd and 54th Ave and included food trucks, pop-up galleries, art demonstrations, musicians, and various performers.
