006-Cardboard-Gandhi | Broadway Augmented

Broadway Augmented is a temporary and virtual public art project on Broadway in Sacramento, California. Eleven artists from around the country have designed public artworks for sites on Broadway that can only be viewed in real time on an Apple or Android phone or other smart device.
Two exhibitions have been produced, in conjunction with Broadway Augmented. One at the Robert T. Matsui Gallery in Sacramento City Hall and the other at the Sacramento Republic FC Offices. The Events and Exhibitions page for more information.
