Art in the Community
When the arts thrive, the community thrives! Here are some throwbacks for you:
Community Art Banners (2020)
Each year, visitors to downtown Owego are greeted with Lights on the River Banners hung throughout town. However, to promote safety and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, this beloved event was canceled. This year, the traditional Lights on the River Banners have been replaced with custom community art banners. There are 27 banners decorating Front and Lake Streets, and the guiding theme is “Winter Wonderland”.
