The Blocks and FICE Gallery team up to celebrate Sundance with SIGNS, an outdoor art exhibit and dance party. Together, this team closes down Broadway in between Squatters and Rose Wagner for a one-night revelry of dance and art. The event will feature work curated by SISTER Art Collective and music from local DJs. The event will run from 5:00pm to 10:00pm and is free and open to the public.
