I've learned to play a lot of instruments over the past thirty years, and this is the toughest one for sure right.

Behind me, you'll see you see the Arlington art truck. The art truck is a mobile tool box for an artist to drive around in Arlington County to where people are we unload a project. That's interactive people get to interact with the artist.

Another was such a great idea in format to sort of demystify what art is with something like this. The artist is always on site, so you can ask questions about the project. That's designed here for the art truck I am.

C

Anticipating a lot of people approaching and saying well how? How is this art, unfortunately, we will have Cynthia is sustained with fielding those questions.

C

Want this piece to engage viewers and I want it to be enjoyable by non traditional art audiences.

B

We are going to the people so we'll be in farmers markets. After-School programs go to school, sometimes fairs festivals, so we'll be where there's a large congregation of people. Whether.

C

Or not, somebody considers this to be art. I want them to be able to have fun with the piece.
