Historically, city blocks weren't just throwing parties; they were birthing iconic subcultures.

421’s Block Barty is better than the art afterparty. We’re ramping up the art season with pop-up vendors, independent brands, eclectic workshops, diverse entertainment, neighborhood walks, and obviously, more art. And this time, it’s a birthday bash!

Block Barty is for the “art” people, the non-art art people, the people you kinda know from the internet but not really, because approaching them might be awkward (but you do it anyway).

And the people who bring their confused—but supportive—parents to the party.
