at Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd.
Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey — The Atlantic City Arts Commission continues its mission to
beautify the City by expanding their Art Box Project AC. They’ve selected artists to design and
paint the traffic boxes along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in the City. The boxes are a
collaboration between AtlantiCare with Midtown Community Development Corporation (CDC)
and the Arts Commission.
Artists have just completed their unique, designs which embrace the theme of the Boulevard’s
namesake, commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. South Jersey artists chosen for this phase
of the project are John Morris, Chanelle René and Patty O’Keefe.

“Midtown CDC is proud to work collaboratively with the Atlantic City Arts Commission to
enhance the existing features within our neighborhood and celebrate the diversity within our
community in this unique and special way. By featuring the work of local artists and highlighting
quotes from famous African Americans, intentionally selected by the Atlantic City branch of the
NAACP, we look forward to continuing our efforts to enhance Midtown Atlantic City block by
block,” said Samantha Kiley, MPH, MBA VP, Community Health & Social Impact at
Atlanticare.
“We are excited to bring this art project to the streetscape at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. in
collaboration with Atlanticare and our selected artists. The boxes are a collaboration between The Atlantic City Arts Commission, AtlanticCare with Midtown Community Development, Corporation, and Special Improvement District, CRDA.
