YOUR BLOCK ASSIGNMENT

Block 19 - St. Louis Avenue to Galveston Avenue

YOUR ARRIVAL STREET - Galveston Avenue
 

Google Maps driving directions to your arrival point
 

SET-UP TIMES

Because of the high volume of car traffic set up will entail, we will be staggering the ARTIST ARRIVAL TIMES in two groups. Please understand that despite your arrival time or your arrival order SPONSOR AND FOOD TENTS have a guarantee to the endcaps they are promised and as they are shown on the map. That means that if a sponsor tent is a bit behind in setting up they will still have the ability to set up on the ends. Please refer to your maps accordingly.

MAPS ARE 'UPSIDE DOWN'

You will enter from Rosedale, driving south towards Magnolia Avenue

The maps are oriented the way your car will be oriented.

All the maps have south at the top of the page and north at the bottom of the page. 
 

This may feel odd to look at now but when you are driving you will be looking at the map in the very same direction you are pointed in your car. The example maps that we will share here explain how to arrive and what the street will look like to you AS YOU ARRIVE. The maps are facing the same direction (facing south) that your car will be facing (facing south) as you arrive. This is similar to the way that your Apple Map or Google Map will automatically orient itself as you drive, these maps are intentionally oriented to your driving view.

PARKING INFORMATION

Your block is a fairly straight-forward artist block with only a few small exceptions. 

The great news is that your artist parking is VERY CLOSE to where you arrive and set-up so you'll be close if you need to pop by into your car throughout the event. 

THERE ARE TWO PARKING OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU:

• Option #1 - The small parking lot behind the Moncrief Cancer Institute will have parking for the first artists who load in. This parking is offered first-come, first-served. ONCE THIS LOT FILLS WE NEED ALL CARS TO PARK IN OPTION #1
   
• Option #2 - JPS Hospital has just completed construction on a significant new public parking garage fronting Magnolia Avenue. The address for this garage is 175 W. Magnolia Avenue and has more than 2,400 parking spaces. The garage is ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY THE ENTRANCE ON S. MAIN STREET just a few blocks from your tent but you will need to RETURN TO ROSEDALE, DRIVING EAST TO SOUTH MAIN STREET, AND ACCESSING THE GARAGE ENTRANCE OFF OF S. MAIN STREET. 
  
   The garage itself is actually located on your artist block and will provide shade all day long. The garage costs $5.00 per day to park in. We will be providing ONE parking validation pass to each artist during breakdown - but only one pass. If you somehow miss your parking pass, lose it, or need more than one parking is affordable at only $5.00 per pass. Your BREAKDOWN Block Captains (Woody Wood and team) will have your passes and will distribute them to you during breakdown. If you need to leave the garage before breakdown, you'll need to pay the $5.00 fee to leave the garage. 
  
   
• Entry to Main Parking Garage at 175 W. Magnolia is located on S. Main Street.
   
• Do not use the St. Louis Avenue entry to Main Garage as this is a Staff only entrance and requires badge access
   
• No trailers allowed in the garage
   
• Parking Voucher allows one free exit per vehicle
   
• Lost tickets, early exit before passes are distributed, or parking for additional cars will require $5.00 cashless payment upon exit
  
   

It is also fair to warn you that beside you to the west blocks 16, 17 and 18 will all load in on St. Louis Avenue - your departure street - and we expect St. Louis to be CHAOTIC at best. This means you may need lots of patience with your departure as your car leaves Magnolia Avenue after set-up. Worst case scenario (which isn't bad at all) is that you wait a few minutes or your volunteer can help divert traffic off of your block into your parking lot which actually has a driveway entrance off your block. That driveway is easily accessible to all except the first few artists to set-up as their tents will come a bit further west than the driveway (again see maps)
