Formed through a partnership between the Fitton Center for Creative Arts and the City of Hamilton, StreetSpark is a new program founded to further the arts identity in the City of Hamilton, Ohio through exciting public art projects. This program creates arts engagement by producing high-quality art, building opportunities for local artists and enhancing the visual appeal of the city. We hope to further the artistic diversity of Hamilton, showcasing a range of styles and perspectives.

Through this program we will energize our streetscape, create awareness of the arts, and spark new development throughout Hamilton.
