Its objective is to bring beauty to some of Tallahassee&#8217;s busiest intersections.<\/p>\n<p>Most of those intersections have large, clunky, grey metal boxes that hold traffic signal electronics. But K-C-C-I Executive Director Betsy Couch has a plan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we will be transforming traffic control boxes into works of art,&#8221; she announced.<\/p>\n<p>The competition for the artists to do that work is wide open.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are asking residents to submit any of their artwork through a very simple application and we&#8217;ll pick a few that will get placed all throughout Tallahassee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Couch said entry info and everything else is online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The mission parameters and link to upload their artwork, all of that is right there on the &#8216;Art of the Box&#8217; web page.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deadline for entries is August 3rd.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-5828686-4&amp;utmdt=Tallahassee+Artists+To+Make+Blighted+Boxes+Beautiful&amp;utme=8(APIKey)9(MDA4MzU1MzUzMDEzMTkyMzAwMzY5MjY1Mw004)\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":7354,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
