Bushkill Curtain, by Stacy Levy
I took this shot of Stacy Levy's art installation Bushkill Curtain from Third Street, looking down on the creek, and I have to admit, it looks pretty cool! A beaded curtain of painted buoys hangs down into Bushkill Creek, responding to water current, water levels, and wind currents. All but one of the exhibits for The Art in Urban Environments Festival has been installed, and the final exhibit, Luke Wynne's 5'x 7' photography prints, which will be mounted around the chain link fence across from St. Anthony's, will be hung by the weekend. In addition to the exhibits themselves, there are all kinds of fun and interesting activities associated with this arts festival that visitors, residents and their families can participate in on Saturdays throughout the summer:
