Several are to be selected to design art and others to be added to a "Registry" for future traffic box projects.
The Mayor's Neighborhood Reinvestment Program, Capital City Development Corporation, and Boise City have provided funding since 2009 in partnership with the Downtown Neighborhood Association and the Downtown Boise Association to commission 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.
DEADLINE:4 p.m., February 16th, 2012
Artist Application Process:
1. Artists send in ten digital visual examples of past work (72 dpi jpgs)., letter of interest and resume.
2. A selection committee made up of representatives from stakeholder groups will review the applications and choose up to 16 artists with whom to work. Additional artists will be selected for Traffic Box "Registry" so that if, in the next year, additional funds are available to transform other boxes, artists from the registry will be selected to create designs.
3. Selected artists will be paid $1,000 to design one mural each, featuring a community-related theme, using provided templates as a guide. Artists do not fabricate or install the final art on the box.
4. The fabricator will take the artist designs (which can be prepared as illustrations, paintings, computer designed images, or photographs), transform them into a vinyl wrap, and apply them to traffic boxes.
5. Artworks will be celebrated with a dedication and walking tours in the Spring.

GHOSTS & PROJECTORS presents CATHY PARK HONG with MERIN TIGERT
Sun Ray Café in Hyde Park
Cathy Park Hong will be visiting from New York City as the second of GHOSTS & PROJECTORS’ guest readers this season.
There will be no charge for admission but a $2 donation to the series is strongly encouraged. Cathy Park Hong’s Dance Dance Revolution will be available to purchase from Hyde Park Books. Refreshments will also be available for purchase from Sun Ray Café.
Cathy Park Hong is the author of Translating Mo'um and Dance Dance Revolution and has won a Pushcart Prize and the Barnard Women Poets Prize. She lives in New York and teaches at Sarah Lawrence College.
Merin Tigert, Idaho native, burlesque performer, and long time fanatic of the practical use of ancient weaponry, received her MFA in Poetry from BSU in 2011. Merin’s first book of poetry “The Grotesque Menagerie” is currently seeking a publisher willing to work with a manuscript focused on cannibalism, spousal murder, and taboo sexual practices. Both are cheerfully pessimistic about finding such a publisher.
GHOSTS & PROJECTORS is a poetry reading series curated by poet Megan Williams that brings together the page, slam, experimental, lyrical, cowboy, etc poets that all live in Idaho yet never seem to be invited to the same readings, connects community-based audiences with a broad range of established and local poets, and connects local and non-local poets by giving them the opportunity to share the stage.
Hyde Park Books is an independently owned and operated new and used bookstore that has delivered mystery, intrigue, and intellectual delight to Boise’s North End neighborhood for twenty-seven years.
GHOSTS & PROJECTORS is made possible by generous funding from the Boise City Department of Arts & History and Boise State University’s Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Program.
