More artists are needed to paint Wellesley traffic signal boxes this spring!
To help make our community even more colorful and enhance the visual experience for Town residents and visitors, the Wellesley Public Art Committee (PAC) is working with the Wellesley Police Department on the Traffic Box Art Program.
The program began in late 2020 and is now in its fourth year. The deadline to apply for this round is Friday, May 17, 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
Program details, the Spring 2024 application, and design templates are on the Public Art webpage on the Town website. Applications can be submitted electronically or printed and delivered to the Wellesley Police Department, in care of Chief Jack Pilecki.
The traffic boxes for this round include 2 standard individual boxes located at:
- Wellesley College/Central Street at Weston Road
- Crest Road at Linden Street
Local artists, both amateur and professional, and art and educational institutions are invited to apply. Selected artists will receive a stipend for their time, transportation, and supplies.
Chosen artists will be notified by May 31. Painting must be done during the months of June, July, and August 2024.
