When Gallery Blu moved to Midtown Harrisburg less than a year ago, we knew it was a bold move in this crazy economy. A leap of faith may be a better way to describe the decision. Harrisburg's revitalization process has been moving steadily along over the past few years and businesses are gathering along Third Street, mainly in the Reily Street intersection and downtown toward the State Capitol. Our move two blocks further north from Reily was really pushing the envelope. Two blocks further in Harrisburg is like two miles further in larger cities. But the gift we received for moving here has been heart felt thanks from neighbors in this mostly residential area of Third Street.
In the last blog I posed the question "What is Art" and here again is part of the answer. Art can be a way you chose to live as in the artful life, artful surroundings. Beauty and art are extending further through Midtown. Neighbors always have a friendly hello and I know we are safe in this community. Litter has disappeared, leaves are miraculously swept by neighbors and I feel a sense of community that is equal to the community I feel in the neighborhood in which I live. We become part of a larger family through art and beauty.
