Local artists and businesses are decorating utility boxes with colorful murals as a part of the Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District’s Stop and StART Initiative, which seeks to ‘enliven the mundane’.
The Stop and StART Project was designed to transform the strictly functional and often defaced signal boxes into canvases for public art and community expression. The Town of Bloomington enlisted local artists and groups to exhibit their work on them, the project creates a sense of place, pride and community ownership in the area. It also helps celebrate the City's Be Downtown Bloomington campaign, an initiative geared to generate enthusiasm and interest in the area's projects and events.
There are numerous artistically painted traffic boxes at intersections in the Bloomington area.
