Project Summary
The City of San Marcos invites area artists to apply for a public art project to create “Mini Murals” via their original art on three traffic control boxes on Ranch Road 12 in San Marcos. Selected artists’ designs will be digitized and printed on a vinyl wrap.
Artists are invited to submit designs for one box, or all of the boxes as a series; if submitting entries for all three boxes, the City is looking for designs that will adhere to a common theme.
The Traffic Control Box Art program is designed to enhance the city by adding works of art to the streetscape on surfaces that are often targeted by graffiti. Artwork on traffic signal boxes functions as a form of communication to a moving audience with the goal of creating a safe, inclusive, and interesting urban environment.
