Overview
Kick off summer with creativity, community, and a bold preview of PRIDE 🌈
Paint the pavement and celebrate in full color at the first ART CRUSH event of 2026. Support local artist vendors, enjoy live music by Bruise Wheel, and take part in creative activities for kids and adults.
ART CRUSH takes place in the Arts District of downtown Winston-Salem, with music performances taking place outside of D.O.S.E. Artist Collective at 606 Trade St. 27101.
Bruise Wheel
Bruise Wheel is an unapologetically queer, community-focused DIY punk-type project based in Greensboro, NC. Known throughout over two cities for being loud, sad, angry and raw, this special Bruise Wheel Lite set will feature Lavender Alexander on Lazarus, their modded ukulele, and Molly Moon on their guitar, Sin.
ART CRUSH
ART CRUSH is a creative block party that highlights the Arts District Businesses and local creatives that reside in Winston-Salem and surrounding areas. All are welcome to celebrate the arts at this free, community event.
