DESCRIPTION: Downtown Doors is a collaboration supported by Madison Art Commission’s Blink temporary public art program with major funding from the Room Tax Commission. Downtown property owners sponsored their doors to help pay for a portion of the installation costs and stretch the BLINK Program funds to increase the number of doors that were able to be included in this inaugural outdoor gallery.
