“Inspirational messages, affirmations, poems, comics - whatever fits on a pole,” Henry writes on her artist Facebook page, The Silent Kah.
Participants are encouraged to coat their artwork in sealant to protect it from precipitation. Henry also suggests leaving items like coats or scarves for those in need.
Passersby who like a certain piece of art are encouraged to take it home with them, Henry adds.
“Deck the Poles” will be ongoing throughout the holiday season. For more info, email the organizer at Thesilentk.artist@gmail.com.
