Learn the story about "Yellow Vibrancy" our mural located at Bonn Place Brewing Co.! This mural was created by artist Amy Purdue was part of our first temporary Mural Arts Walk on the South Bethlehem Greenway! And because the public loved this mural so much, we were fortunate to be awarded a grant from the County of Northampton to install this mural, as well as four others to their permanent homes on businesses throughout the SouthSide!

Did you know that our Urban Arts Walk was inspired by a trip to the Karl Stirner Arts Trail? During the height of the pandemic, we took a trip to the trail in Easton to have fun safely and then the ideas started flowing….what if we connected all the art in the SouthSide and tell the story of each work? And just like that, the SouthSide Urban Arts Trail was born!
Dreaming of warmer days ahead, here’s a recap of that great day and literally the birth of this great idea!
