Continuing with the Art of Encouragement artist relief program, we’re featuring Allentown artist Alberto Chor, who through the grant created his 7 foot tall Fossil piece made from recycled PVC sheets. We’re thrilled Alberto was able to participate in this program focused around adding encouraging pieces of public art throughout the city. This project was another great addition to the #downtownallentown #publicart scene! #urbanarts #Allentownarts #WeAreAllentown #SomosAllentown #ArtofEncouragement
