He's taken around 400 rolls of films of all of these 12 communities touching Lake Street. There are 650 pictures all around Lake Street. They're capturing basically the everyday reality that coexists on Lake Street. They are capturing basically everything from a Mexican birthday party to women stuffing grape leaves in their home or kids lined up for the high-school prom. Yes, it's been overwhelmingly popular.
People are really excited.
I think one of the strong features of the Public Art is that it brings art to people who don't normally get to see it, it's a subtle impact and it has also drawn some media attention to Lake Street. A lot of neighborhoods there have the reputation of being bad neighborhoods and they are really not, they are just culturally diverse. Just till the end of this month. And then in November 17th or 18th we are going to have an auction of the photographs. And all of the money we make from this auction is going to benefit the community organizations.
