A New View Camden
A New View will transform highly visible vacant lots along Camden’s public transportation corridors from eyesores used for illegal dumping to multi-purpose community forums. These converted spaces will host dynamic temporary art installations and creative programming that will provide a new view to the more than 65,000 people who travel through Camden daily and its 77,000 residents.
The time has finally come for A New View - Camden to announce which artists have been invited to program 6 former illegal dumping sites with public art!
