Art Along the Sidewalk
As you drive through the business area in the hamlet of Wallkill be on the lookout for original paintings on lawn signs along the sidewalk. There are various themes created throughout the year. These paintings will be on 18”x 24” corrugated plastic signs with metal stands – typical lawn advertising signs, but original works of art. “The purpose of the project is to bring some color to the hamlet and hopefully enough interest in the art that people stop, look at them, and look at our businesses,” said project coordinator Julie Craner. The artwork was created by local artists from elementary school children to retirees.
