This ArtsWeek project began in front of City Hall with five blank panels, each measuring four feet by eight feet. People were asked to respond to the questions, ‘What is Democracy and What does Democracy look like?’ The tent protected the wall’s participants from the sun and rain, and also drew community interest.
