Street Delivery was an event series reducing car traffic and offering up space for pedestrians via collaborative events. The aim of Izabella and her colleague Diana Sabo was to create special spaces where young artists and community organizations could perform in public. Music played and enjoyed on the streets involved the community in the creative act, creating stronger personal bonds. Izabella's efforts in maintaining an annual Street Delivery are born from her passion for improving the lives of the people of Baia Mare. The whole concept of the event series was that people don't just sit there and watch a concert—the team wanted to involve people as participants in the whole musical act. A defining part of the festival was its impact on the young volunteers: Street Delivery gave them invaluable lessons in flexibility, responsibility and professionalism. It proved the learning potential and impact such events can have on young people’s lives. Izabella was committed to bringing back Street Delivery next year, and to Baia Mare’s cultural life by offering socially relevant programs, showcasing emerging musicians, and collaborating with partner organizations. 9
