New Public Art Project Unveiled in Bethesda!

The downtown Bethesda Arts & Entertainment District announced its latest public art initiative: The Signal Box Public Art Project. Artists from DC, MD, and VA submitted their designs for consideration, and a selection committee chose 15 incredible artists from the very talented pool of applicants. Their designs were then printed on vinyl and "wrapped" around the traffic signal boxes at 15 intersections throughout Downtown Bethesda. View photos of the art online here. 

MCDOT manages these signal boxes to ensure traffic flows seamlessly and decreases traffic congestions and rear end collisions and increases rush hour travel speeds by 14-20%.
