Visitors to downtown Greensboro will notice vibrant new artwork adorning the signal boxes throughout the center city. Downtown Greensboro, Inc. (DGI) solicited art from dozens of area public and private schools to refresh the boxes, which were first wrapped with student art in 2020. With a theme focused on culture and diversity, DGI received more than 30 student submissions and selected 11 total pieces to wrap 40 signal boxes.
“Downtown Greensboro is a melting pot that truly represents all citizens of our city. What better way to showcase this amazing diversity than through the eyes of children,” says Zack Matheny, DGI President and CEO.
