THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 16, 2025 Page 5 ‘Artists Take the Street’ in Malden Center on May 24 M alden Center will burst into color and sound on Saturday, May 24, as the Artists Take the Street Festival brings art, music and hands-on creativity to Pleasant Street. The free outdoor celebration, which is presented by Creative Malden and The Gallery@57, will run from 12:004:00 p.m. along 47–75 Pleasant St. The event will showcase live art demonstrations from Malden artists Grace Julian Murthy, Anna Thai, Ella Bessmer, Elizabeth Scorsello, Tamara Matzkin, Ginny Remedi Brown, Lisa L. Sears, Linda Dolph, Bhagyashree Lulay, Elizabeth Campbell Tompkins and other local artists. They will give attendees a chance to see creativity in action – and even create their own art through interactive craft stations. Live music will fill the street with performances by fusion guitarists Kiernan Ceide and Vivian Busold, as well as a set by the Kim Maria Trio, a local jazz ensemble known for their smooth, vibrant sound. Families will find plenty to enjoy: face painting, balloon twisting and other kid-friendly activities. The event is designed to be accessible and engaging for everyone, whether you’re a practicing artist, an art lover or just looking for a fun afternoon out. Sponsored by East Cambridge Savings Bank and the Mass Cultural Council, Artists Take the Street reflects a growing movement in Malden to use public space to celebrate the arts and foster community connection. “This is about bringing people together around creativity,” say event organizers. “We want to make art visible, accessible, and part of everyday life in Malden.” (Courtesy photos) SABATINO/MASTROCOLA INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 Auto * Home * Boat * Renter * Condo * Life * Multi-Policy Discounts * Commercial 10% Discounts * Registry Service Also Available Sabatino Insurance is proud to welcome the loyal customers of ALWAYS READY TO SERVE YOU: Our Staff are, Emma Davidson, Jeimy Sanchez, Josephine Leone, Marie D’Amore, Rocco Longo, Z’andre Lopez, Anthony DiPierro, Darius Goudreau, Laurette Murphy, Danielle Goudreau and Tina Davidson.
