The moment we arrived in Hobart I noticed the abundance of Traffic Signal Boxes. Scattered around town, these Traffic Signal Box were transformed into vibrant works of art through a local initiative. Searching for them turned into a fun little treasure hunt across the city.
Signal Box is a Creative Hobart program run with @urban_smart_projects. Each year 12 new boxes are painted,
I am linking this to Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge and to Natalie’s Photographing Public Art Challenge.
I don’t really understand what traffic signal boxes are, but they certainly look much better for a splash of paint. These are great, Teresa.
Well I don’t really know too. Buy that is what they call it in Tasmania and that is why there are so many in Hobart. Thanks Jo .
In my view, this is the perfect Thursday doors post. Absolutely wonderful.
Haha you and me both! 👍
What a terrific post. A fun way of making those boxes interesting.
A worthwhile initiative 👍
These are great, lifting the mundane to something fun
That is true, and it gave individuals an outlet for their creativity. Thanks for commenting.
These are really cool Teresa. I love when they paint these boxes but those are next level in Tassie. Love the last one especially.
Thanks Wayne, I do love it too! Adds colour to the charm of Tasmania.
You have inspired me to search for mine in my gallery.
Happy that I have inspired you. Excited to see the photos sometime soon.
These are all lovey and fun, Teresa. My favorite is the space ship. I wish we had more of these around our city.
It is the community’s initiative, so that helps. I think every year they will keep on adding and searching for entries.
This is such a wonderful and colourful project! It would make for a good little treasure hunt tracking them down around the city. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful day 🙂 Aiva x
Thanks so much Aiva. It was unexpected so I always had to keep my camera ready.
🥰🥰🥰
What a great way to brighten a city! They’re all so colourful, but my favourites are numbers 1, 4 and 6 😀
Great to see your favourites, Sarah. It was really great seeing them all and for Hobart having that initiative.
Thanks for the photos of this urban art! Our city of Madison has a similar program which I like.
Yes, a great way to liven up the city. 👍 Thanks Rebecca
This is really amazing!
Thanks Hammad.
These boxes are colourful and fun, Teresa. I like them all. Thank you for your PPAC contribution.
My pleasure Natalie.
