The City of Houston has a program which selects artists to
paint murals on traffic signal control cabinets.
This program has led to many beautiful murals all across
Houston!
These murals can be found in the Central Southwest, the East
End, The Heights, Montrose, Acres Homes, Gulfton, Near Northside, The Second
Ward and the Third Ward.
Mayor Sylvester Turner said “Mini-murals are a fun and
creative method the city is using to add more art to Houston’s many thriving
communities. This program showcases our artists, reflects our history and
creates opportunities to enjoy creative expression in places people pass by
every day.”
A total of 551 artists submitted qualifications to paint the
murals. A panel of art experts, community stakeholders, artists and city
representatives reviewed submissions and selected the winners. The murals will
help beautify our city and I am happy we have begun this program.
