Here's what Mack had to say:

"While I don't think everything needs to be a district, there's no question that downtown has an incredible set of arts destinations that you should definitely explore. I hope the Arts District concept catches on. For this particular event, I'm intrigued by the block-party-style celebration, and I look forward to some non-construction activity on the streets for a change!"
