About the project 

City District is part of the Orlando Main Streets program. Our boundaries incorporate Downtown Orlando's Entertainment Area, Art District, Central Business District, and Commercial District.

Traffic box art can be seen throughout the City of Orlando Commercial Districts. This is the first time the program has been made available to City District. Artists selected for this project will be the first to paint on traffic boxes in our district.

City District has chosen 13 traffic box locations in high visibility areas. Artists may select their preferred location later on in this form. For a map of the locations click here.

Art Box Theme 

The Art Boxes will incorporate a theme of past, present, and future. Where we've been, who we are now, and where we are going is what makes our community so special.

If you are chosen for this project you will be asked to submit a sketch of your concept prior to painting on the traffic box. Your design should incorporate this theme.

You may also be asked to incorporate ideas and colors into your design from community members.
