CALL FOR ARTISTS PROPOSALS

The South Pasadena Arts Council (SPARC) invites artists to submit a proposal to create artwork for 10 of the City’s traffic signal boxes. These small scaled “murals” will enhance the City environment, and been seen and appreciated by our residents, business owners and visitors.

Traffic signal boxes, usually painted drab grey or green, have been enhanced and transformed into creative artworks in many cities around the country. The City of South Pasadena, in its update to the Strategic Plan has identified Art and Culture as one of its goals going forward. One of the recommendations was to include more public art throughout the City. As a result the City awarded SPARC funding to support the creation of the first ten (10) boxes. The first boxes have been completed and this is Phase II, which includes an additional 10 traffic signal boxes.

The deadline for submissions is June 24, 2016.
