Ithaca is full of public art. One of my favorites is a 1500-foot mural painted by artist Alice Muhlback along West Spencer Street. Another favorite is the “21 Boxes” project, where electrical utility boxes around the city are given to different artists to transform into works of art. Read more…

I grew up on the west side of Rochester, attended SUNY New Paltz, and spent a semester studying pre-Renaissance art in Siena, Italy.

It was also interesting to see how individuals came to find art and why they continued to do art. Read more…

Now when we walk, bike or drive past the parts of the Inner Loop that are now filled in, we can savor those feelings that the exhibit stirred up. Read more…
