Everyday Magic: Denton’s 2025 Artsway Banners Bring Color and Connection to Market Street
DENTON, MD – For the third year running, the Denton Artsway is being transformed into a vibrant outdoor gallery with the return of the 2025 Mainstreet Banners Project. We need Fifteen local artists to create a striking display of colorful and community-driven banners, to hang along Market Street. These 60-inch tall and 24-inch wide banners will be installed and will adorn downtown Denton celebrating local culture, creativity, and resilience.
This year’s theme, “Everyday Magic”, highlights the magic you experience on a everyday basis in Denton, showcasing the beauty, unity, and positivity that define our community.
“Everyday magic” is all around us — in the little moments, the small joys, and the beauty we often overlook. This year’s banner project invites you to pause, reflect, and share what everyday magic in Denton means to you. Let’s show the town how magical our daily lives can truly be.
A significant part of making this project a reality comes from the generous support of local sponsors. Businesses such as Mainstreet Taxi, Pizza Empire, Kathleen Thompson with Benson & Mangold, Main Street Sweets, and Heather Yoc-Santos LLC played a crucial role in funding the project.
Our goal is to brighten Denton’s streets with a little Everyday Magic. By hanging these vibrant banners throughout town, we not only celebrate our local creativity — we also draw people in, boost tourism, and support our local economy. It’s art with impact, and we want you to be part of it!
The project doesn’t just beautify the town; it reinforces a core mission of the CCCA: to use art as a tool for community engagement and economic growth. By elevating local talent and adding visual interest to Market Street, the banners help create a space where creativity flourishes and businesses thrive.
The Artsway Banners Project is a testament to the resilience of Denton. As the community continues to navigate challenges, these banners serve as a reminder of the moments of joy that unite us all. Whether it’s through the vibrant hues of the artwork or the stories they tell, these banners will inspire hope and positivity in all who visit.
Be sure to keep an eye out for future updates, including details on an upcoming auction where you’ll have the opportunity to take home a piece of Denton’s artistic legacy.
