The Stow Arts Commission is providing an open art call for Phase V 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. 

Boxes are located along route 59 (Kent Road), Fishcreek Road, Hudson Drive and Steels Corners Road.

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 into account location of vents, handles, etc.

Artwork may be panoramic around the box, or four separate images on each side of the box.

We are 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 a traffic signal box.

The hard deadline to apply for this time sensitive project is by 5:00 pm on March 28, 2025.

The selection committee will review completed applications (see application materials below) and notify selected artists, via email, by April 14, 2025.
