AKRON, Ohio — A project in Ohio to turn shipping containers into homes for travelling artists is moving ahead.
The plan is for the first artists to move in near downtown Akron this summer.
A group called Akron Soul Train is behind the idea. They’re using a private grant and donations to get the project going.
They envision a canopy-covered village of brightly colored containers with sculptors, painters and visual artists mingling with pedestrians.
