Wellesley is looking for amateur and professional artists interested in making a handful of its plain old traffic boxes beautiful.
The program, overseen by the Wellesley Public Art Committee and Wellesley Police Department, began in late 2020. The deadline to apply for this round is Friday, May 16, 4pm
The traffic boxes for this round include standard individual boxes at:
- Weston Road at Hardy Elementary
- Washington Street at Warren Park
- Washington Street and Glen Road
Both amateur and professional artists are invited to submit proposals. Participants do NOT have to be Wellesley residents.
Selected artists for the Traffic Box Art Program will receive a $1,000 stipend, per location, to cover time, transportation, and supplies. This program is funded through donations to the Wellesley Police Department.
The artists will be announced on May 30, and painting will take place during the months of June, July, and August.
