SIERRA MADRE ART WALK 

Celebrating Art and Community in Sierra Madre

Friday, June 7th from 5pm – 8pm

COMMUNITY YARD SALE IN 

SIERRA MADRE

 The City of Sierra Madre Senior Community Commission is hosting the 3rd Annual Community 
Yard Sale on Saturday, June 8, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. located in the Sierra Vista Park 
Parking Lot (611 E. Sierra Madre Blvd). Community organizations and members are invited to come 
together with their neighbors to participate in a community yard sale. Participants have the opportunity 
to clean out their garages, attics, storage sheds and closets without sending those items to 
landfill.

 The fee for a selling space is $25.00 and a yard sale permit does not need to be purchased; proceeds 
will benefit senior programs and activities. Alternatively, you may donate items to the Senior Community 
Commission booth to be sold on the Commission’s behalf. If you would like to participate in 
the Community Yard Sale, please register online at www.cityofsierramadre.com/onlineregistration 
or in person at the Community Services Office, 611 E. Sierra Madre Blvd. Deadline to register is 
Thursday, May 30 or until spaces are filled.

 Participants must provide their own tables, chairs, canopies (10’x10’ maximum) and cash boxes if 
needed. No electricity will be provided. Live animals, large canopies, and selling of food or drinks 
are prohibited. All business must be conducted within your space. Event may be cancelled due to 
inclement weather. 

 A limited number of spaces are available. For more information please call the Community Services 
Office at (626) 355-5278.

On Friday evening, June 7th, from 5:00-8:00 
p.m., downtown Sierra Madre will be bustling 
with creativity as local artists and musicians join 
with over twenty small businesses to celebrate 
art and community during the inaugural Sierra 
Madre Art Walk (SMArt Walk). SMArt Walk 
is formally launched by local businesses, artists 
and musicians. Through regular exhibitions 
in downtown Sierra Madre, the SMArt Walk’s 
mission is to increase community awareness 
and appreciation of the arts, and to encourage 
interaction between local artists and the public 
by providing artists with a supportive network 
that fosters the creative economy. SMArt Walk 
will take place four times in 2013, on the first 
Friday of the months of June, August, October 
and December.

In close collaboration with local businesses 
in downtown Sierra Madre, local artists and 
musicians will exhibit their work in studios, shops, 
and storefronts along Montecito Ave., Baldwin 
Ave., and Sierra Madre Blvd. Participating artists 
and musicians in the June 7th SMArt Walk
