This weekend, is all about heavy-hitters. The long-running Downtown Chamber Series is performing an encore of one of its most revered pieces. A mural all-star debuts his brand-new solo show. Local hip-hop aficionados hold down the fort at downtown’s hottest (and only) book shop welcoming hot DJs from the past, present and future. And a multimedia artist shares her latest film work, incorporating improvised music into her emotional constructions. Step outside and walk (or bike) to one of these shows.

Volunteers will be spread throughout Phoenix working toward the revitalization of different communities as a part of the 13th annual “A Day for Downtown.”

The Downtown campus has a total of 19,041 students enrolled this fall. Many ASU faculty members and local business owners are happy about this increase and see various benefits for students as well as the downtown community.

Lawn Gnome Publishing held the first event of its ongoing Books and Beakers Science Cafe series on Tuesday to connect the public with local scientists from a variety of fields.
