During the Month of July 2020, we had some downtime and escaped to Massachusetts where we were allowed to make a little mess in the outdoors. The pandemic lockdown and the summer stall, allowed us to focus on more artistic endeavors.
We had the idea to engage our neighbors through the art work that we were producing on the premises. Hence, we set-up a Pop-Up art show that allowed our cabin-fever strickened neighbors to check out some art on their daily, leg stretching walks through the neighborhood.
The engagement with neighbors was fantastic. We met neighbors that we never knew existing and through social distancing measures, learned a lot about each other.
Some visual aids to give you an idea:
Removable easels as to not startle sensitive neighbors were implemented. All easels were removed after each showing.
