BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Adams Hill Neighborhood: Adams Hill is unusual in Glendale as it bears a physical resemblance to the densely built up, hilly neighborhoods of Los Angeles that surround it, such as Silverlake and Mount Washington. It is bordered on the east and south sides by Los Angeles and is often described as Glendale’s most eclectic neighborhood.

States Jeremy Aluma, chair of the events organizing committee: “We want to celebrate the talents of our local artists, draw people to our neighborhood and foster community.”

Adams Square Mini Park:

The Adams Square Mini Park at 1020 E. Palmer was opened in 2007 by the City of Glendale in an effort to create a green space in the center of the Adams Square business district for the densely populated surrounding neighborhood. The park incorporates a historic Streamline Moderne Gas Station building which has been a community fixture since 1936. This gas station structure is now a designated historic landmark maintained by Glendale Community Services and Parks. It has been adapted for reuse as an art exhibition space curated by the Glendale Arts & Culture Commission.
