2019 marks year two for the Vision 2030 Block Art Party, an event held to raise money for the North Georgia Community Foundation to purchase a piece of public art for Hall County. 

The event is held at the Royal Space, also known as the parking lot of Hunt Tower. The area of the event is a designated spot near the Gainesville Square where art is easily accessible to the public. 

Tickets to the event set party goers back $35, but tickets included a meal ticket redeemable at the Yumbii Dinner food truck; a drink from Tap It; live entertainment by the band Fire and the Knife; a souvenir pint cup and the opportunity to score deals on art $100 and under.

Art pieces seen at the event were donated by local artists. The featured artist for this year's event was Angela Chrusiaki Blehm; her piece was a part of the event's silent auction where folks could bid on a particular piece of art they liked. Art from the silent auction was not capped at the $100 price.
