See 4 Displays of Art in Wayne County

This project in the heart of downtown Honesdale transformed the side of a brick building into a giant canvas. Now in its eighth year, the display features 11’ x 17’ photographic reproductions of original artwork. Featured work changes annually and there are 12 different pieces in each display. Artists in all mediums were invited to submit work that reflected the theme, “Illusion.” The result is an installation of bold billboard size work representing digital collages, photography, textiles, oil on canvas and more. Visit The Great Wall at the intersection of Fourth St. and Main St in Honesdale.

Scattered throughout Wayne County, Magical Homes for Fairies and Gnomes features original fairy gardens created by 41 local artists. The fun, interactive displays encourage passersby to snap a photo or even create a video. Gardens are placed at various businesses in Hawley, Honesdale, Newfoundland and White Mills. Well-known local artists as well as middle and high school students created the pieces. A QR code on the back of every panel links to a map detailing the location of all of the displays. Wayne County Art Alliance invites visitors to treat the tour as a scavenger hunt and find all 41 destinations. Here in Hawley there are displays at the Public Library, A.M. Skier Insurance,  Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center and Teeter’s Furniture.
