Hello all –

Durham, NC was recently allocated funds through participatory budgeting for the installation of some public artwork on new bus shelters throughout the city. Our goal is to commission local artists to create artwork using reclaimed materials  as the shelters will also have solar panel arrays to power lights and USB charging stations.

We are currently looking into what other municipalities have done for bus shelter art in their cities. If any cities have examples or are willing to share information on their process for putting public art on bus shelters, please share!

Thanks,
