The Avenue

Public Space

​​

​​​​

 Still owned by our partners at CKH Rentals and JAG Housing and managed by DBI, The Avenue welcomes both casual use -- sit, eat, talk, read, relax, etc. -- and scheduled events, such as painting classes, poetry readings, voter-registration drives, non-alcoholic office parties, etc. DBI does not charge for the use of The Avenue; we ask that all users respect the space, not make a mess, and clean up after themselves so that no one would know anything had ever taken place.

Scheduling an event

​

If you would like to hold an event in The Avenue, please visit the schedule here to avoid conflicts and then contact DBI board member Oren B. Helbok, executive director of The Exchange around the corner on Main Street, at Exchange@ExchangeArts.org or 570-317-2596; Oren can add your event to the calendar. The Avenue remains open as a pedestrian thoroughfare even during scheduled events, so please plan accordingly. (If you have more than a handful of trash, please take it with you; the trash can fills up fast enough just through regular use!)

​

The vision

​

create a space that would offer a place of beauty, inspiration, and function.  To achieve that, the plan included spaces for art installations, planters with seasonal flowers and decorations, and a "living" wall of vines.
