The art piece above is called “The First Responder” and was created by Bill Secunda. It's located in a pop-up art gallery on Main Street.

Local artists recently came together to turn a vacant space on Main Street into a pop-up art gallery with various pieces on display through this weekend.

Paul Means and Tom Panei, both local artists, worked with the owners of Miller's Quality Meats to make the pop-up art spot a reality in time for the Bantam Jeep Festival.

“I just love it,” said Donna Baccanto of Butler who was browsing the temporary installation on Tuesday afternoon.

“When I heard about it, I thought, 'what a great idea for downtown.' To promote local artists in one place like this is just wonderful. I hope they do more pop-ups like this. I'm proud of my downtown.”
