-- Call it an outdoor museum, call it a good walk, or call it a sign of
Rochester's livability (as the U.S. Conference of Mayors has done this
year). All those terms apply to ArtWalk, the collaboration between
neighborhood groups and City Hall that has created a series of
pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, benches, streetlights and art along
University Avenue between the Memorial Art Gallery and the George
Eastman House. The national mayors group honored 20 cities; ArtWalk and
a Houston project tied for first among cities with more than 100,000
people.
Sunday, ArtWalk struts
its stuff with the third annual ArtWalk Alive. The event features
visual art, music and dance, including ''dancing docents'' to lead
audiences from one performance to the next, and ''Front Loader
Fantasia,'' Thomas Warfield's new piece for front loaders and dancers.
In advance of Sunday's festivities, staff photographer Carlos Ortiz explored the ArtWalk neighborhood.
