I challenge you, the next time you are strolling Main Street, Anywhere, to look for art.
Hogan Brothers Acoustic Cafe sells original artwork showcased on its walls in downtown Northfield.
Not just the obvious, as in art created as art.
See all the art going on here in the stone, the angles, the door, etc., outside The Contented Cow.
But art that weaves itself into the streetscape, into the fabric that defines a downtown.
Attractive sandwich board signage designed to draw shoppers into Glass Garden Beads and the Eclectic Goat.
Notice the colors, the textures, the fonts, the shapes—all those details that we often overlook in our hurry.

Appreciate that which someone created whether to draw your business or your eye or simply for the joy of creating.
Art is everywhere:

Inside the Northfield Arts Guild galleries, you’ll find plenty of original art. But don’t miss the beautiful stained glass art in the second floor windows.

If only we will pause to notice streetscape art.
