About the Burien Signal Box Art Project

The Signal Box project includes ten signal boxes (the metal boxes used to control traffic signals) around Burien that will be wrapped with vinyl wraps created from the artwork of ten artists. The wraps will be installed in the fall of 2020 and will bring many different artistic styles to the community, from historical imagery to landscapes and portraits.

This project is funded by the Art in Public Places Fund, a separate fund supported $.05 per capita for Burien public art projects.

Art in Public Places projects bring art to the Burien community. Public art can provide a sense of identity and understanding of where we live, work, and visit—creating memorable experiences for all, as well as beautifying a location and making a city more livable.
