Bus Stand
Ongoing in downtown North Adams
Offsite
Free
Bus Stand is a public artwork by Queensbury, New York-based artist Victoria Palermo, who was inspired by her 2010 Kidspace artist-in-residency in the North Adams middle schools to create a colorful work of art on Main Street that would combine the functional with the aesthetic. The bright colors and geometric shapes recall the Sol LeWitt wall drawings at MASS MoCA, as well as the artwork in the 2011 exhibition Color Forms II: Lisa Hoke and Soyeon Cho at Kidspace. Bus Stand will be a permanent addition to North Adams's Main Street.
