Green Window City Project: An Allentown Art Walk

GWC

In celebration of Earth Day and our May First Friday celebration–Art & The City–local artists and shop owners are building window displays from upcycled material for the Green Window City Project, which takes place in Allentown April 22-May 6. During that time, Western New Yorkers can come out to enjoy art, support local businesses, and #rethinkjunk.

The Green Window City Project is a collaborative effort between local artists and business owners to build installations in shop windows with upcycled elements rerouted from the waste stream, creating a pop-up gallery walk atmosphere. Documented from planning, to building, to debut, this teamwork further supports our community’s united effort for conscious – even creative – waste diversion.

The project demonstrates reclaimed materials’ form and function, while increasing awareness of reuse opportunities, local businesses, and artists. GWC is a synergistic opportunity to rethink waste, from both a personal and entrepreneurial angle.
