PKX Festival (in person)
The annual PKX Festivals, in and around the Trolley Barn Gallery, serve as the building blocks for the development of a Youth Arts Empowerment Zone in the City of Poughkeepsie. Youth are responsible for every aspect of planning these events. They choose a featured artist, engage with city officials for festival permits, and organize communities throughout the city. The PKX Festival demonstrates place keeping by reactivating Middle Main with youth ideas and vision. Youth are bringing the community together as they work with professional artists and curators across the Hudson Valley for public art installation while empowering the City of Poughkeepsie.
