Additional traffic boxes continue to be painted all over Ocean City by local artists adding to the enjoyment of residents and visitors. Public art has proven to be an amazing addition to the streets and public places that we often rush past on our way to somewhere else.  CAP’s commitment is for public art to be accessible to all.
