Traffic Box Public Art Project

The City of Sugar Land Cultural Arts division in partnership with the Public Works department and the Sugar Land Cultural Arts Foundation have “wrapped” thirteen boxes located along Hwy 90 between Interstate Hwy 59 and Hwy 6. The City sought regionally-based artists to transform traffic signal control boxes in Sugar Land from functional infrastructure into colorful inspired works of art. The selected artists comprise a diverse cross-section of the local and regional community, and range in age from 18-years-old to adults.

GOALS OF THE PROJECT

  • Beautify the right-of-way
  • Provide a memorable welcome for visitors to Sugar Land
  • Enhance an area in Sugar Land that could be a future Cultural District
  • Support the City of Sugar Land’s reputation as a place to see art
  • Brighten drive for commuters
  • Engage the community and builds the capacity of local arts organizations

Temporary public art projects are one of the categories of projects determined to be most meaningful to Sugar Land and a priority for the Public Art Program’s resources.
