This document proposes replacing old sewer covers in Yerevan, Armenia with new covers featuring art to beautify the city, educate citizens, and promote tourism. The project would install 1000 unique covers in 4 styles - historical, modern art, navigation, and education - near landmarks like the Opera House. Designers would create 50 covers for each area's theme. Citizens and companies could sponsor a cover by buying a limited edition t-shirt, receiving branding on that cover in return. The goal is to use sewer covers to promote art, culture and civic pride while making the city more attractive and tourist-friendly.
