Art Works, 3741 Sixth Street – Drew Oberjuerge, Director

Located on Sixth Street between Main and Market Streets, Art Works non-profit is celebrating their one-year anniversary with their first time holiday window display. This work is a collaboration of local artists Beverly Baird and Ariana Cervantes.

As described by Art Works Director, Drew Oberjuerge, their creative design is eco-friendly and green, using locally-found materials such as tree branches from Fairmount Park that have been painted white and festively decorated with brightly colored holiday ornaments and white lights.

They’ve also recycled cardboard into star and crescent moon-shaped glittery silver ornaments hanging above small houses (also made from recycled cardboard) to replicate a town.

The shop windows themselves have been sprayed to look like a foggy window that has had the middle wiped clean. The effect is that of peaking down through the clouds, looking at the rooftops of the small town.
