Melanie Therrien is working with Lewiston's Public Art Committee to expand her Traffic Control Box Public Art Project. The project has been a way to cover up vandalism and has expanded to 20 more boxes getting painted this year and 20 in 2025. Come out and take a peak on June 1st as artists paint boxes throughout the city starting at 10:00 a.m. A working list of artists and locations is below.
Public Art is a great way to share art with others that is free and accessible to everyone. Art can not only help beautify a city by covering up vandalism and creating a sense of place, but it also helps create economic growth and gives artists opportunities.
