Artists for 'Slow Down Warwick' Traffic Safety Campaign
Village of Warwick seeks artists to create public art projects for traffic calming and accident reduction through federal grant funding.
The Village of Warwick is inviting local and regional artists to participate in the 'Slow Down Warwick' campaign, a federally funded initiative aimed at reducing speeding and traffic accidents through artistic interventions. This unique opportunity allows artists to contribute to community safety while showcasing their creativity on a public scale. The project is funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Streets for All Initiative, demonstrating the government's commitment to innovative traffic safety solutions. Ten strategic sites will be selected based on injury and crash data, targeting key roadways and intersections where artistic interventions can have the greatest impact. Selected artists (one to three total) will be assigned to create various types of roadway paintings and temporary installations designed to alert drivers and encourage safer behaviors. The Village particularly seeks artists with experience in street mural painting, large-scale design projects, and community engagement strategies. This presents an excellent opportunity for artists to work on meaningful public art that directly serves community safety while gaining exposure through a high-visibility municipal project. The temporary nature of these installations allows for experimental approaches and innovative techniques in public art creation.
