Because of Saturday,  I can’t walk around Ithaca the same way. Because of Saturday, I find myself fascinated by the electrical boxes and parking garages. Because of Saturday, I love the public murals of Ithaca.

I joined the art walk from West to the Commons, stopping frequently to admire the artwork around town. Once you notice the art, you notice the art – and it’s gorgeous. My favorite piece was the flowers painted on the parking garage in Collegetown (I would definitely recommend a visit!)

The tour guide was from the Public Art Commission and he was fantastic. Funny, engaging, and interested in what we felt the art represented and what we would like to see in town. I could tell he genuinely cared so much about spreading art around the city. The walk was beautiful and I would definitely recommend everyone to keep their eyes peeled for the beauty all around them!

Below are some of my other favorite pieces (try to guess the locations!)
