AKRON, Ohio - Akronites will want to navigate the orange barrels downtown this month and check out new art installations in storefronts on Main and Mill streets, and in the Northside Arts District.

Curated Storefront is a 2016 $100,000 Knight Arts Challenge winner that aims to showcase buildings that are abandoned, with a few under renovation, through ongoing, curated exhibitions. The current multimedia work ranges from brilliantly lit LED displays to digitally printed, cut and folded paper houses.
