The Gathering Traffic Box

The Downtown Traffic Box Art Pilot Project is being led by the City of Brampton’s Cultural Services department with support from Public Works and Engineering. The pilot project seeks to explore placemaking through artistic activations of traffic and utility boxes at street corners throughout the city.

Project Type: Temporary Exhibit

Artist: Annmarie Claudette

Artist Statement:

As individuals, we are uniquely gifted and special in some way. The Gathering is a mixed media painting that embodies the strength that lies within our connectedness with one another, as a community.

“My pieces are inspired by the community around me, the people, the culture, and most prominently, the richness within nature. I enjoy bringing the magic of life together and displaying it colourfully, through my artwork… I hope that this project, on a larger scale, further encourages creative transformation (through use of art) of our local communities.”
