The Downtown Dayton Partnership (DDP) is teaming up with The Contemporary Dayton and City of Dayton to enliven downtown streetscapes with ArtWraps 2.0 designed by local artists of all ages and levels on targeted utility boxes.

Selected designs will be printed on vinyl and wrapped around the boxes by a third-party design fabricator. The intent of the project is to beautify the utility boxes and give area artists an opportunity to enliven the public realm. Up to 15 artists will be chosen for this second round of ArtWraps. Each selected artist will be awarded $500 for their design.

All ages and levels are welcome to apply. Children under 18 must have a guardian sign their application. Artists/teams living within a 50-mile radius of Dayton, OH are eligible for this project. Submission deadline is June 30, 2023. Winning designers will be notified the week of July 14th and the artwork will be unveiled Aug 4th-5t, during Art in the City.
