Traffic Box Art Wrap Program

In 2021, the City launched a Traffic Box Art Wrap pilot program to enhance community character, celebrate Centennial’s identity and connect public art to the City's history. As part of this program, vinyl murals inspired by Centennial’s mission, vision and values, were created and installed on 20 of the 88 traffic control boxes owned by the City. 

For the last three years the Centennial Arts and Cultural Foundation partnered with the City to showcase their creativity by designing additional traffic box wraps throughout Centennial. This resulted in the installation of more traffic box wraps around the City.

The Centennial Arts and Cultural Foundation is excited to invite community artists to display their creativity for the 2026 Traffic Box Wrap Contest! It is open to all artists until February 28, 2026. View the eligibility criteria and submit your art for the 2026 Traffic Box Wraps contest here.

The traffic box art is meant to contribute to the vitality and attractiveness of our community, deter graffiti, add to the vibrancy of our cityscape and create a sense of place and identity.

Locations

Designs have been intentionally distributed geographically across Centennial to be enjoyed by all residents. For the initial year, reports of graffiti removal from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office helped influence location selection. Currently there are 32 traffic box wraps completed throughout Centennial.
