Frankford Ave Arts
NKCDC formed Frankford Avenue Arts in 2005 to foster the creative economy as a driver of revitalization on the Frankford Ave corridor. Today, we promote the thriving arts and creative business scene across the River Wards by connecting artists with resources and promoting arts events through our networks.
