Featured artists include Catherine Johnson, Kim Garrity Matthews, Megan Coram, Ruth Clark, Matt Baynes, Ethan Bennett and Steve Greco.

The artbox project involved vinyl-wrapping utility boxes with historic images of Reading. The project was commissioned by the Historical Commission and done by graphic designer Franklin Marval.
