Valley In Motion has started Creative Communities initiative in Carbondale and Forest City to bring art and cultural activities that support them as Outdoor Towns, fun and welcoming places for outdoor recreation. Funded by the PA Council on the Arts, the Borough of Forest City, and City of Carbondale, VIM is planning and executing projects that bring residents and visitors from the Lackawanna River’s trails to Main Streets in Carbondale and Forest City. In addition to murals above, these funds can support outdoor sculpture; signage; artist-designed bike racks and benches; and music and other cultural events.
