Each first Wednesday of the month, Downtown is transformed into one large music and art venue. But this month a few short films were featured at the Florida Theatre to kick off the Jacksonville Film Festival, May 18-21. An Art Walk first was the Bay Street Art Project. Violet Vintage in Five Points presented LaRose Shoes — featuring designer shoes by Jacksonville native, Joseph LaRose. Women had three, four, five pairs of shoes in their hands from the LaRose collection. Two performances at City Hall included accordionist Anders Bakke and PM Xperience — both will be performing this weekend at The World of Nations Celebration.
