The 40 Below Public Arts Task Force is partnering with the Assisi Center and Northside Collaboratory on Oh Snap, a new interactive public art initiative on Syracuse’s Northside.

The project will develop a portable photo booth that will be taken into neighborhoods allowing residents to take their own pictures of themselves. The photos will be displayed in a gallery exhibition in Spring 2008 as part of the Northside Mosaic project, run by the Assisi Center.  Program Director Dominic Robinson says the intention is to “celebrate the diverse array of remarkable human beings that live in our neighborhood and to help build community among them.”

To help fund the project, 40 Below and the Northside Collaboratory are holding a fundraiser on Saturday, November 10 from 8 pm – midnight at the old Assumption School building at 1119-1127 North Townsend Street.  Admission is $20, and includes live music and refreshments.  For more information, visit http://franciscancm.org/ohsnap/.
