Four More New Traffic Box Art Wraps Completed

October 27, 2011

Boise- Idaho artists created unique designs for four more traffic boxes outside of downtown Boise. There is no formal tour, but the public is welcome to note these new locations and drive by for a look. The last four boxes were paid for the by the City of Boise's percent-for-art program. These are the first boxes to venture farther outside of the downtown core and into neighborhoods across the City. There are now 32 wrapped traffic boxes in Boise.

New Art Wraps: 
Location, Artist, Title                                                            

Hill Road & Harrison Blvd, Tarmo Watia, Boise Seasons

Bown Crossing, Lauren Kistner, Untitled

Vista and Overland, Brian Schreiner, Tremendous Trees

Capitol Blvd at Julia Davis Park, Lisa Flowers Ross, Vibrant City

The Mayor's Neighborhood Reinvestment Program, Capital City Development Corporation, and Boise City are providing funding for the Art Wraps in partnership with the Downtown Boise Association, Downtown Neighborhood Association, and the West Downtown Neighborhood Association. The project commissions Idaho artists to design murals for Ada County Highway District traffic control boxes in Boise.Boise's Department of Arts & History is facilitating artist selection process and project management.

The program brings public art to the street, decreases graffiti, and increases the unique character of our city streets. This project was initiated by Downtown Boise Association in 2010 as a model project that paved the way for more boxes at prominent intersections to be made into artwork.
