Enter Blair Thornley’s latest project, an unlikely combination of form and function that city officials hail as a marker for the neighborhood’s artistic temperament. The Art on the Garage project includes 16 oversized line drawings spanning the North Park Parking Garage’s five tiers—they reflect artists hard at work in their particular discipline, like the ballerina with the overstated curve to her back and the befuddled chamber orchestra sitting down to play.
