And really, as DRB’s Captain Kane says, what’s not to like?

PUBLIC ART AT CDTA BUS STOPS
Soon you will be able to watch TV in the local Nippertown bus stations and see the work of local artists. Central Avenue BID and CDTA are partnering on a large-scale public art project that will install secure flat-screen TVs in several high-traffic bus shelters this spring. The TVs will exclusively feature programming from Albany and Schenectady artists and artists’ organizations. Content will be run from a local server, and community artists and arts organizations will have still photos, videos and demonstrations running almost around the clock. This can be stills of visual arts, music performances, dance performances, cooking demonstrations, fashion, flowers, writing, anything that involves artistry or design. If you have a still photograph of your artwork or video footage of a performance, please contact the BID offices at (518) 462-4300 for more information about submissions.
