Public art installed on INDOT boxes

Another public art project is now on display through downtown Nashville.

The collaboration of the Nashville Arts and Entertainment Commission and Indiana Department of Transportation allowed vinyl wraps designed by local artists to be installed the steel INDOT traffic light boxes at McDonald’s, CVS Pharmacy and in front of the Brown County Courthouse on Van Buren Street.

Everywhere Signs out of Bloomington installed the wraps on Sept. 8. Each piece was each designed by a local artist — Gabriel Lehman, Patricia Rhoden Bartels and Daren Redman.

NAEC President Melanie Voland said last month she hopes public art installments are catalysts to see how the community can be creative and think about big spaces in the area that can draw people in by being art pieces in the public eye.
