Public Art Opportunity: Downtown Traffic Box

	(COLUMBIA, MO) -- The city of Columbia Office of Cultural
Affairs (OCA) requests proposals from mid-Missouri artists for its new
“Traffic Box Art” program. One artist will be selected to address
the traffic signal box at Broadway and Hitt Street in The District. The
honorarium to be provided is $1,500.
	The goal of Traffic Box Art program is to make traffic signal
boxes more resistant to graffiti while contributing to the uniqueness of
the downtown streetscape. The OCA is pursuing the program after a
successful pilot project painted by Columbia artist David Spear in 2007
at Broadway and Ninth Street.
	Applicants must submit a basic design proposal using a template
provided as well as basic qualifications. The project guidelines and the
design template are available at www.GoColumbiaMo.com/Arts (select the
“artist opportunity” link at the top of the page) or by
contacting the OCA for a printed copy. To be considered, complete
applications must be postmarked by Feb. 16.
	For more information, contact the OCA at (573) 874-6386,
oca at GoColumbiaMo.com.
