Arlington Accepting Designs For Transformer Box Project

Artists living or working in Arlington are invited to submit designs to be painted on the town's transformer boxes.

ARLINGTON, MA – The town is inviting artists to submit designs to be painted on transformer boxes along Mass. Ave. This year's theme is "in motion."

Examples can include transportation modes like feet, bikes or buses; birds in flight; animals or humans running; or an abstract representation of movement.

Designs should be bold and read well from a distance. Submissions will be juried by members of Arlington Public Art, the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture and members of Arlington’s business community. A stipend of $300 will be awarded to each artist.
