The Stow Arts Commission is providing an open art call for Phase II of the Traffic Signal Box City Beautification Project. The commission is seeking proposals from artists to provide artwork for vinyl wrapping of electrical traffic signal boxes. 

Each box varies in size and design (vents, access doors etc…) but are an average of 60 x 40 x 27 inches. Nineteen boxes throughout the city will be added with this addition of Phase II.

Upon acceptance, each artist will be assigned a box and the measurements.  They will also be made aware of the printer’s digital file requirements.  Artists are encouraged to physically go look at their assigned box to ensure their content fits appropriately, taking in to account location of vents, handles, etc.

Artwork may be panoramic around the box, or four separate images on each side of the box.  The commission is seeking bright, vibrant and colorful art.  Two-dimensional paintings, drawings, designs and digital art will be acceptable submissions.  The submitted art will be digitalized and screened onto vinyl, which will be wrapped around the boxes.

The hard deadline to apply for this time sensitive project is by 4:30 pm on March 14.

The selection committee will review completed applications (see application materials below) and notify selected artists, via email, by March 21.

The completed application must be received by 4:30 pm, March 14, in order to be considered. The completed application must include the following:

Submitted design must be the design intended to be placed on traffic signal box.  Artists do not need to send new original designs specific to this project, or completed work ready for install.  Images must be formatted as JPEGS.  All files should be titled with first and last names.
