Lubeznik Center for the Arts (LCA) will present Hello Neighbor: Purple Windows, a community-based art installation that reflects themes of neighborhood, visibility and connection. The outdoor installation will be on display on LCA grounds from October 1st through November 15th.
Purple Windows (Hello Neighbor) is part of Terrain Biennial 2025, "a grassroots public art festival that brings artists and neighbors together to put public art on the front lawns (and stoops, porches, windows and rooftops, too) of neighborhoods across the world," (Terrain Exhibitions, 2025).

Curated by Chicago's Purple Window Gallery, an artists' collective, and in collaboration with LCA, this installation is inspired by their Hello Neighbor initiative, created by artist and curator Lauren Iacoponi, who invited participants to transform their domestic windows to display art to the outside world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hello Neighbor will feature salvaged windows painted in shades of purple. The installations will be placed on the grounds of LCA to resemble a walk through a neighborhood, with each window acting as a stand-in for a home.

Window installations will be created by the collective's members, (Bianca Brandolino, Naomi Elson, Samiah Fulcher, Rebecca Griffith, Millicent Kennedy, Lexi Raia and Amy Shelton) utilizing materials from the home, like blinds, curtains, yarn, Polaroids and VHS cassette tapes. These elements, often tied to everyday life, will be reimagined in playful and thought-provoking ways that link themes of community, visibility, memory and connection through art.
