Morgantown ReStored showcases the potential of underused spaces through creative activation
Morgantown ReStored reinvigorates our city by creatively activating empty storefronts. We use art and history exhibits to create vibrant window displays in underused spaces. As we enliven vacant storefronts, we showcase each property’s potential and generate curiosity and interest in local art and our downtown.
The QR code on the ReStored sign in each participating location allows passersby to learn more about the initiative and the participating artists.
Who Can Participate?
- Artists who make vibrant work that will be visible from across the street and can be hung on flat walls, apply here. Exhibitions currently run for a minimum of 2 months.
