Art on Main is for all to see

Fiber Grass by Suzanne Tidwell on display

The City of Auburn has announced its newest gallery space Art on Main – a small window-front public gallery at street level on Main Street in the One Main building.

Fiber Grass by Suzanne Tidwell is on display through Feb. 28.

The space features four innovative art installations per year and is visible to the public 24/7, creating an exciting new presence for the arts in Auburn’s downtown.

The vibrant color of the gracefully curving elements brings warmth to the chilly winter streetscape. Illuminated from within, Fiber Grass glows and shimmers evoking a Seussian field of titanic swaying grass.
