Artbox is a City of Gold Coast initiative that aims to deter graffiti vandalism by painting traffic signal boxes with bright, artistic designs, which also improves the visual façade and appeal of our streets. Every year, local artists are invited to submit their creative ideas and artworks for the opportunity to be featured throughout the region.
Original artworks by AW’s Emma Van Zaane and Laura Strange add new energy and vibrant sights to the streets of Mudgeeraba, Nerang and Robina, respectively.
We love how City of Gold Coast supports local creatives with professional opportunities to transform the city in unexpected ways. Artwork can help to reduce the attractiveness of the traffic signal boxes to vandals. Since the first ArtBox project in 2008 graffiti on traffic signal boxes has been reduced by 80%!
