Join us at the Third Street Station on September 19th at 10:30 for this years Art by Bus Celebration!
Public transportation is one of the few features of our region that touches every part of a community. Buses travel through every neighborhood; get people from home, to work, to the doctor, to the grocery store; they serve every age, every race, ever income level. A bus trip will take you through parts of your community you may have never seen before and introduce you to people you never would have the opportunity to meet.
By putting art on the buses, we want to remind people that taking public transportation is making a choice about how you spend your time. You can fight with traffic, or you can close your eyes and listen to music. You can spend money on gas, or you can pay your fare and enjoy a book. Public transportation is an opportunity to have experiences, not just an alternative way to commute. Plus, it’s a way to bring art into all of our neighborhoods for people who may not otherwise have a chance to experience all the culture the region has to offer.
