Across from the Cask on Robinson, the old GRTC tram/bus barns are being converted into works of art by local, regional and international artists. The creativity is amazing and plentiful. I took almost 300 shots and was challenged by the editing as each piece spoke to me in its own language. These are my picks. There will be events today, 09.14.13, including performance artists. I recommend that you attend and make your own picks.
