Illuminated Art Walk
Every hour a guide riding a bicycle projecting art images will lead an illuminated art walk from venue to venue. The route will go from Rock Paper Scissors Collective to Creative Growth Art Center to 21 Grand and back to Rock Paper Scissors Collective. Gallery goers are encouraged to bring their poetry signs and capes from Rock Paper Scissors Collective on the walk. The Illuminated Art Walk is a project of The Illuminated Corridor.
