Blue Sky City
Blue Sky City
is an arts city.
We’re a music city. We’re a festival city. We’re a dance the night away city. And we have so much more to discover. Around the corner, under your nose, behind that door, or even up in the sky. Just like the art pieces we created for this project using our city’s own blue skies.
Keep an eye out—who knows what else you might find out of the blue.
