Streets 2k7
Wednesday May 16, 2007 |
Streets 2k7 is a public art project that coincided with the Raritan River Art Walk in New Brunswick, New Jersey on May 12-13, 2007. Albus Cavus, an active local art collective worked with the New Brunswick Arts Council on the Art Walk - a two mile long path located on the waterfront in New Brunswick. Local residents and artists transformed a neglected path of the city into an extraordinary outdoor gallery of public art. This project is part of a larger experiment in an innovative approach to the revitalization of neglected public space. They envision art to be the driving force in changing an abandoned bike path into a space that will become widely used by the community for social interaction and recreational purposes.
Everyone was invited to participate in the event as artists, volunteers, or audience. In the end, more than 150 artists came together to paint the retaining wall along the waterfront bike path. More info: www.albuscav.us/streets2k7. Photos: www.flickr.com/groups/raritanwall. {moscomment}  Tags:
