Unblurred: First Fridays on Penn is a monthly initiative sponsored by the Penn Avenue Arts Initiative. What started as an attempt to revitalize Penn Avenue between Negley and Mathilda has transformed into one of the city's hottest cultural events.

Each month, people from all over the region stroll Penn Avenue between the 4800 and 6000 blocks to meet with artists and local business owners. Visitors can expect to see everyone and everything. Families, singles, workers, students, long-time residents and first-time visitors alike can bask in Penn Avenue's creative energy – experiencing a mix of photography, dance, painting, sculpture, music and spoken word performances. The Garfield Night Market also takes place during Unblurred from May through September.

Jen Liu is an artist, educator, and researcher working at the intersections of art, design, technology and culture. Working across different fields such as traditional craft, digital media and interaction design, she is interested in exploring ways of using technology to examine relationships between the body and the environment. This May exhibit is titled 'Soft Power: Smart textiles, speculation and play'. Soft Power is a collection of work that examines the relationship between tangible craft and digital media through the use of speculation, humor and play. The work includes prototypes, artworks, and artifacts developed through research, along with "Pom Pom Point Cloud" a collaborative installation that invites the visitor to contribute and question the intersections between digital data and physical materials.
