In 2004, Creative Time, with artist Steve Powers, initiated an effort to revitalize the rich visual culture of Coney Island. A year later, The Dreamland Artist Club of 2005 carried on Powers's endeavor, as its members enthusiastically revived and expanded that mission—like Powers, they recreated colorful and imaginative signs, as well as re-envisioned concession stands, storefronts, and murals throughout Coney Island, infusing the defunct amusement park experience with contemporary art. New aspects of the project included artist-designed prizes at participating arcade game booths and the launch of The Dreamland Artist Clubhouse, a kind of information center where visitors could see artists at work in the studio, buy a handmade sign from the gallery, pick up a map of the park, or receive a personal tour of the Dreamland artworks.
