Five pieces of art have been selected as the winning works in the second annual Traffic Signal Box Art Contest. The winning artists were recognized at the June 12 City Council meeting, where it was announced that the artwork would be installed on traffic signal boxes beginning this week.
The City of Richardson and the Richardson Kiwanis Club launched the Traffic Signal Box Art Contest last year to beautify local intersections using art reflective of the community. The theme of this year’s contest was Richardson’s 150th anniversary, with artists choosing what they wanted to celebrate about Richardson’s past 150 years.
This year’s winners are:
- Charles A. Claudet III
- Jennifer Geiger
- Priti Boyd
- Christina Kieffer
- Richard Nielsen
In addition to their artwork being showcased in the community, the artists received $200, a plaque, and will have their work published in the July Richardson Today and other municipal communication channels.
