Scape, Bleecker Co-op Public Artwork

by Red Dress Productions

About:

Clearly visible from Sherbourne Street, Scape is an 18' public artwork located at the entrance of Bleecker Street Co-operative. The second large-scale mosaic work with the co-operative, Scape was created in 2007 through a community engaged process including arts-based research yielding many stories and sketches, and followed by several months of open studio.

Thanks to Bleecker Street Co-operative members, Dominion Langstaff, and Tile City. Special thanks to Diane Frankling, Robbie Haas, and directors and staff at Bleecker Street Co-op.
