The City of Brighton invites artists to embark on an exciting endeavor—transforming traffic signal boxes into captivating public art installations across the community. These creatively wrapped boxes aim to enhance neighborhood identity, turn ordinary spaces into creative landmarks, and encourage engaging conversations within our community.

Six traffic signal boxes have been strategically selected for this project, ensuring a widespread and accessible showcase for the selected artworks. Artwork will be on display for at least two years. 

The call is open to individual artists, artist teams or community groups with a designated lead artist. Professional and non-professional artists, including emerging artists and students, may apply.  Submissions will be divided into two categories for selection: 18 and older (adult) and 17 and under (youth). At least one traffic box will be exclusive to the youth category, however, more may be selected by the judging committee. 

Six pieces of art will be selected and placed on weather-resistant vinyl printing. Each artist or artist team will receive a $500 honorarium. All artists must reside or work in the Denver metro area. 

Interested artists are invited to submit original artwork by April 11 at www.brightonco.gov/trafficboxmurals. Details on submission and design guidelines as well as the selection process can be found on the Traffic Box Mural webpage. 

Artwork is anticipated to be installed this summer. For more information about the project or to submit artwork for consideration, visit www.brightonco.gov/trafficboxmurals or contact Communications & Engagement Director Kristen Chernosky at kchernosky@brightonco.gov.
