2nd Street Scene Art Exhibit
About the Exhibit: 2nd Street Scene is a street-wide art exhibit and contest featuring local artists, on public display all along 2nd Street in Belmont Shore. Selected pieces are printed and installed on the sides of Big Belly trash/recycling cans up and down the corridor, turning a walk down 2nd Street into a self-guided public art tour. Passersby can scan a QR code on each piece to view the artist's portfolio and cast a vote for their favorite.
