For fourteen years the City of Missoula Public Art Committee has worked with state and local agencies, local organizations, businesses and individuals to enrich Missoula’s street corners. The Committee has invited artists living in Missoula County to create art on traffic signal boxes throughout Missoula. The boxes serve as “canvases,” enhancing our community and enriching our visual surroundings. The project offers artists of all ages and levels of experience an opportunity to understand the public art process, exhibit their talent to thousands, and contribute to the beauty this amazing community. The boxes and the artwork that graces them are ephemeral. At times, boxes are replaced for safety and technological reasons. The new boxes are graced with artwork as funding permits. By 2021, nearly all of Missoula’s seventy-three signal boxes have been completed. 2021 will bring exciting new works, featuring imagery from Missoula’s renowned arts community. A
