City of Odessa bringing more art to traffic boxes

The city hopes to cover four more boxes with local art by the end of summer.

ODESSA, Texas —  The City of Odessa has announced its plans to bring more art to traffic boxes in the area.

By the end of 2019, over 30 boxes should be covered in art from artists all around the world. But right now they are starting small.

Summer will see four of the traffic boxes with work from a local artist.

"People have started asking, 'When are you going to do the next one?' and 'Who are you going to have as the next artist?' and those kind of things so we've really seen an explosion of interest and people are taking pride in Odessa," said Randy Ham, the Executive Director of Odessa Arts.

"It's like wow, look what we've done for our community."
