The Allied Arts Council and the City of St. Joseph are inviting artists to apply for the seventh traffic box project in Downtown St. Joseph.

According to a press release, the goal of Allied Arts Council’s Traffic Box Project is to create and paint art on traffic signal boxes in the Downtown area and turn street corners into pieces of art. The seventh traffic box is located on the northeast corner of 4th and Edmond Street.

Teresa Fankhauser, executive director of the Allied Arts Council, said she hopes to see a variety of submissions for this traffic box.

“This traffic box is larger than the others we have done,” Fankhauser said. “Artists have a lot more space to create and bring their design to life.”

The traffic box project launched in 2012. The average life of the Traffic Box Art is 10 years.

Artists need to send in a resume, references, a template for each submitted design (if more than one), and an artist statement for each design, postmarked by October 5th to the Allied Arts Council office. The selected artist will receive an honorarium of $1,500.
