Traffic Control Box Art Wrap - Eastern Sunrise Area

The City of Sunrise seeks applications for artworks and designs that can be reproduced as vinyl wraps and applied to up to fifteen traffic control boxes throughout Sunrise. Selected student, emerging, and professional artists will be paid $500 per design for an approved final design and licensing rights that will enable the City to reproduce the design on one or multiple traffic control boxes in the City. This opportunity is open to visual artists, illustrators, designers and creative individuals working in any medium, as long as the final artwork can be translated and digitally reproduced on a three-dimensional vinyl wrap.

The goal of the project is to create a design that represents the City of Sunrise's identity as a warm and inviting environment that celebrates and embraces a diverse and culturally rich population while enhancing Sunrise's public spaces by adding vibrant works of art to utilitarian surfaces in high visibility areas. This is the third phase of the Traffic Control Box Art Wrap Project. In October 2020, twenty-nine artworks were installed on traffic control boxes in the center portion of the City, and in March 2022, seventeen artworks were installed in Western Sunrise within the Business and Entertainment District.

Artists can submit up to fifteen images for consideration. The design's theme and medium are open to the artist's vision but must be family-friendly and suitable for the public realm, integrating the front, back, sides, and top of the box. Designs must be unique to the City and not have been utilized in other places. Of the 15 traffic control boxes, 10 are located in eastern Sunrise (Sunrise's Original Neighborhoods) and 5 are located in western Sunrise. For boxes in eastern Sunrise, preference will be given to designs that celebrate the history, culture and diversity throughout the original neighborhoods. Selected artists will work with City staff and the City's selected printing company to make any necessary revisions prior to printing. Artists will be required to sign a Letter of Understanding granting the City reproduction rights to the artwork. The artist will retain copyright and other intellectual property rights but will grant the City unlimited, perpetual, and irrevocable right to use or reproduce the artwork in any non-commercial manner or media. Selected artists will be compensated after the artwork is submitted to the City in the final template and resolution requested to the City's satisfaction.
