Ever wondered how the magic of art can transform a city? Prepare for an insider's tour into the innovative world of the Downtown Dover Partnership with Diane Laird and Jordan Resch, as we unpack how creativity is revitalizing our city. We're spotlighting Paint Dover, a unique plein air painting experience that breathes life into downtown Dover, capturing its spirit in vibrant colors and strokes. Learn about the selection process for artists, the community involvement, and the atmosphere of this lively three-day painting extravaganza. 

That's not all! We're also opening the curtain on other exciting Downtown Dover projects. Discover how you can get involved in our banner initiative featuring images from previous Paint Dover events, and the pilot crosswalk project, where the canvas is the city streets and the paintbrush is in your hands. We'll share how these efforts capture and celebrate Dover's unique heritage, fostering a sense of community and pride. Wrap up with us as we delve into the Biggs Museum partnership, exploring how Paint Dover is not just an event, but an artistic movement encouraging artists of all ages to participate. Don't miss out, tune in and be a part of Dover's artistic revolution.
