LIVINGSTON: THE SEAT OF CREATIVITY HAS ARRIVED!
Livingston: The Seat of Creativity has taken it to the streets! Benches along South Livingston Avenue are adorned with works of art selected by the ACL. Passers-by who witnessed the installation referred to the works they saw as an outdoor museum and many vowed to bring their children to view the benches.
There will be a reception open to the public on Thursday evening , June 8th from 6:30-8:30pm at the Municipal Building, to view the original art on which the bench pictures are based. The pictures will be for sale. The photographs of the bench pictures will be auctioned at the close of the exhibit in late September or early October.
