The program allows artists to paint traffic boxes throughout the district, transforming the mundane into the magical with a flick of a brush.
According to the City District website, officials are hoping to raise $10,000 so that 13 artists will be selected to paint 13 traffic boxes at select locations around downtown Orlando.

Each artist selected is granted a stipend and all necessary supplies to bring their vision to life.
Artists can submit proposals to a volunteer selection committee through June 5.
“We’re looking for artists who have a unique style and perspective, and who are passionate about creating art that speaks to our community,” the website reads.
