View from my Window | 10 East Window Art Gallery

As a response to COVID-19, 10 East Arts launched “View From My Window,” a roving window art exhibition.  This outdoor exhibition kicked off May 1 with the work of local artists in storefront windows along East 10th Street.  This exhibition was a way to showcase our local artistic talent with paid commission opportunities while adding vibrancy and joy along a heavily traveled stretch of East 10th Street.  Work was on display May-June 2020.
