Art Factory presents Octoberfest/Building Bridges 2014

Over Columbus Day weekend October 11,12 Art Factory will host a conference of community partners in the fields of art, design, government, public education, business and civic engagement. Each community group will be given a booth within the Art Factory (an arts center residing in Paterson’s historic textile mills) where they can present what their organization is about. There will be programs and events throughout the weekend to encourage collaboration, engage community partners, raise public awareness and promote innovation in various fields of sustainable design and historic preservation.

The more literal translation of ‘Building Bridges’ will manifest itself in a tree house park linked by rope bridges set in the backyard of the Art Factory abutting the Great Falls National Park. The tree house park would be designed by professionals, constructed by community volunteers using materials donated by community partners and open to the public during regular park hours.
