 I just saw the coolest idea for an art exhibit at FestivALL.You turn down an alley off Quarrier Street and enjoy art from your car. The West Virginia State University Drive Thru Art Show.

After passing through what (to me) looked like the doorway to a car wash, you can enjoy paintings, prints and photographs displayed at proper gallery viewing distance.

I'm not sure if this is just a cool and cheap way of displaying art in public, or maybe a political statement about society's view of art, but it says something about the ingenuity of WVSU art students and instructor Paula Clendenin to get art out from under the organized tents and into the street. Or alley. Whatever.
