Like a good neighbor, the Arts Council of Princeton is there – to re-phrase a certain insurance company slogan. During these past 13 months, the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP), located only a block from my apartment, has been a great neighbor to me – and to thousands of others – by providing invaluable assurance that smiling (albeit behind a mask) is still possible. And key to this assurance policy has been a wall, not a border wall of concrete and electronics to keep people out, but rather an outdoor picture wall of artistic design and inspiring messaging to draw people in.
