Mandy's Art Project

Check out this CityBeat story about our friend Mandy Smith and her community art project.

"A few years ago on a road trip, (my husband and I) got stuck in traffic for miles," she says. "The crazy thing was, they had barrels up to keep the traffic in one lane and nothing was happening in the closed lane. As we edged ahead, my husband started weaving the car through the barrels, and after a few minutes all the cars behind began to join in, like a great long line of elephants. I never saw the faces of those in the cars behind us and never will, but we all had a moment of enjoying our common humanness or something. Maybe it's a bit ambitious, but I'd love The Collect to be something like that."

Note to self: Wear seatbelt when riding with Jamie.
