North Park Nights Kicks off with Controversial Art. North Park Nights (NPN) is the pulling together of North Park businesses to continue promoting arts and culture as the foundation of its unique community.

The first North Park Nights event of 2009 begins March 21, 2009 at 6pm with "Its Complicated", a group showing featuring controversial themed artwork and events in various businesses and galleries.
Following monthly events include "Art at the Core" a look at community art on June 20th, and "Green Scene" for environmental awareness on Sept 19.

North Park Nights includes select businesses from the 805 freeway, and runs west along University to 28th Street. Many contributing businesses are also located along 30th Street from Polk on the north side, to Upas Street on the south end. Live music performances featured in local bars including Bar Pink, U-31, and The Office, among others.

NPN is a community based project supported in part by The San Diego Art Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to building arts and culture in San Diego.
