"Our celebration of the hundreds of local, regional, and national artists is not slowing down. The addition of DJ Pee.Wee (Anderson .Paak) is poised to make Artscape's return a festival like none other. He is sure to bring his incredible energy and talent to the lineup, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the Artscape stage," Todd Yuhanick, interim executive director of BOPA.
