Doors As Art

As part of the Baby Food Festival, the local are council sponsored a door painting contest. The doors were then displayed at various businesses around town.

Part of the Director's initiative to make art available to the public. By the people, for the people. I like that attitude.

Maybe this is something you could do in your community.
