“Monarch Migration,” by Bejat McCracken.

Designs of local artists adorn three traffic control boxes

Wednesday, January 16, 2019

The city has installed three new pieces of public art on traffic control boxes at busy intersections.

The Traffic Control Box Art program aims to enhance the city by adding works of art to the streetscape on surfaces that are often targeted by vandals.

“Besos Del Sol,” by Dayann Pazmino. 

Artists were invited to participate last year. Winning designs were digitalized and printed on vinyl wraps.

“These pieces, by talented local artists, beautify our community and add color to the San Marcos streetscape,” said Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra, who is also chair of the San Marcos Arts Commission.

“As the River Prays,” by Wimberley artist Mary Barton, is located on Centerpoint Road next to the Tanger Outlet entrance.

“Monarch Migration,” by former San Marcos artist Bejat McCracken, was installed at the intersection of McCarty Lane and Leah Drive.
