Residents Invited To Transform Signal Boxes Into Works Of Art

CLEARWATER, FL — Clearwater residents are encouraged to participate in a program that will transform the dull, gray traffic signal boxes around the city into works of art.

For the past several years, the Clearwater Arts Alliance has contracted with local artists to create artwork for the city's traffic signal boxes.

Now the city is opening up the program to residents and neighborhoods.

The program gives neighbors a chance to work together on a fun, artistic project. Neighborhoods are encouraged to select a theme for the artwork that is meaningful to residents and will serve as a source of neighborhood pride.

The neighbors can paint the signal boxes themselves or contract with an artist to paint a design that they've created.

The program has several requirements that must be met, including an online application and city approval of the final art design. Applicants are responsible for funding installation and design costs.

For more information, contact the city's neighborhoods coordinator Juliahna Green at juliahna.green@myclearwater.com or (727) 562-4559.
