Art in the Heart of the City
Heading into its 11th year, Art in the Heart of the City brings the creativity of local as well as national artists to Ithaca's downtown through an annual exhibit of outdoor art. Continuing to celebrate Ithaca's national leadership in sustainable community practices and thought, 2009's work exemplified eight artists' interpretation of "Art for a Just & Sustainable Community". The 2009 exhibition illustrated the diverse ways people can define and contribute to a just and sustainable community, while inviting residents and visitors alike to experience the cultural vitality and creativity of Downtown Ithaca in new ways.
