Check out the Department of Transportation’s website for some upcoming deadlines for artists to submit proposals for urban art projects that beautify our passageways, and contribute to walkable communities.

“DOT Art partners with community-based organizations and artists to present temporary public art in neighborhoods across the City. Artists help transform the city’s streets from ordinary to extraordinary with unexpected interventions – colorful murals, dynamic light projections and thought-provoking sculptures. Public plazas, fences, barriers, bridges, step streets, and sidewalks serve as canvases for art.”
