Along the Connecticut River in Northampton, Massachusetts, works of art were hung from trees, floated on water or partially submerged.

The recent show was inspired by a landscape oil painting of a bend in the river by 19th-century artist Thomas Cole.

Jill Kaufman of New England Public Media has the story.
