Flower Mound traffic-signal box art call drew 30 submissions; commission to consider timing change
Summary
Commissioner Leticia reported 30 submissions for the town's traffic-signal box art project and proposed shifting the program's announcement timing to early in the year to increase applications.
The Flower Mound Cultural Arts Commission heard that this year’s traffic-signal box public-art call produced 30 submissions and that organizers are considering changing the program’s announcement timing to increase participation.
Commissioner Leticia “Tish” (no last name provided) said she extended the application period by one month this cycle and that she received more applications than in past years. “The traffic signal box project, we received 30 submissions,” she said. She recommended moving the public call to the beginning of the calendar year rather than the end of the prior year, noting holiday months may reduce applicant response.
Leticia said the program has completed work on 20 boxes this cycle and will enter a new phase next year. The commission did not take a formal vote on changing the schedule but flagged the timing issue for future consideration and staff coordination.
Why it matters: traffic-signal box art is a visible public-art program that affects multiple neighborhoods and provides local artists opportunities to display work on municipal infrastructure.
No legal or funding actions were finalized at the meeting; staff and commissioners will discuss announcement timing and selection process at a future meeting.
