 al Brick Walkway was the vision of the Alexandria African American Hall of
  Fame. The walkway recognizes the 100th anniversary of Parker-Gray High Sc
 hool which opened to students on September 10\, 1920. The walkway\, which 
 consists of the Parker-Gray Bulldog mascot and engraved bricks to honor te
 achers\, students\, individuals\, families\, houses of worship and the gre
 ater community\, is located at the main entrance of the Charles Houston Re
 creation Center (900 Wythe St.) the original site of the Parker-Gray schoo
 l. The school opened in September 1920 at the site of the current recreati
 on center and provided African American children with comprehensive educat
 ion at a time when segregation and lack of resources\, teachers\, and faci
 lities threatened what is now understood as a fundamental right of every c
 hild. \n\nThe event will occur on-site at the Wythe St. entrance and will 
 be simulcast virtually on livestream. Onsite participation will be limited
  to ensure compliance with all safety guidance. The event will occur rain

 ID-19 pandemic\, the Alexandria Arts Alliance in partnership with ACT for 
 Alexandria and in collaboration with Alexandria's vibrant artists and arts
  organizations announces and invites you to its first virtual fundraising 
 event\, streaming on Facebook Live. \n\nACT 4 #ArtsALX will include inspir
 ing video vignettes from 23 Alexandria-based artists and arts organization
 s representing the disciplines of music\, dance\, visual arts\, theater\, 
 film and artisans as well as special appearances (including Mayor Justin W
 ilson and a cast member from Saturday Night Live) and more! One hundred pe
 rcent (100%) of the proceeds raised will benefit the following participant

 tropolitan Philharmonic Association\n?	Yellow Door Concert Series\n\nACT 4
  #ArtsALX was inspired by the need for artists to share their work given t
 he difficulty of performing\, teaching and holding exhibits in the time of
  COVID-19. The lack of revenue from performances\, classes and exhibitions
  has led to critical financial problems for the arts. Most artists and org
 anizations have had to cancel seasons and indoor events for the foreseeabl
 e future\, transitioning to smaller\, outdoor events and virtual presentat
 ions.\n\n"We knew as the weather gets colder\, gathering will become more 
 challenging\," says Alexandria Arts Alliance Board President Melinda Kernc
 . "There is amazing and inspirational art happening all around us\, and we
  want Alexandria residents to experience it\, even if they are staying hom
 e. These artists and arts organizations desperately need support from the 
 community they serve so well. This entertaining\, collaborative showcase p
 rovides a way to ensure the arts will emerge strong when the pandemic subs
 ides."\n\nHomegrown Restaurant Group will donate 10% from all take-out ord
 ers mentioning ACT 4 #ArtsALX on the evening of the event. Thank you to Ho
 ly Cow\, Pork Barrel BBQ\, The Sushi Bar\, Sweet Fire Donna's\, Tequila & 
 Taco\, and Whiskey & Oyster. Grab dinner and head home to watch the show!\
 n\nThe Alexandria Arts Alliance thanks event collaborators and contributor
 s ACT for Alexandria\, the Alexandria Office of the Arts\, the Alexandria 
 Commission for the Arts\, and the Garden by Building Momentum. \n\nThe fun
 draising event will stream on the Alexandria Arts Alliance Facebook page:
