Students were also able to participate in a walking tour of the city, which included Downtown Indio, the CV Art Center, City Hall, the Indio Performing Arts Center, and more- giving students a new appreciation nad insight into their hometown. 

IMPACT students were also given the opportunity to have exhibition space at the Indio Block Party/Tachevah Music Festival on May 5th, where they interacted with the public, showcased work and projects, and set up a selfie station for everyone at the event.
