We will be working together with a local artist to create an art installation! Come anytime 6-8pm.
from Wikipedia:
Installation art describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space.
Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public and private spaces. The genre incorporates a broad range of everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their "evocative" qualities, as well as new media such as video, sound, performance, immersive virtual reality and the internet. Many installations are site-specific in that they are designed to exist only in the space for which they were created.
