STAMFORD, Conn. The city plans to brighten up the area around the Stamford Transportation Center through mural-based lighting technology after receiving a $150,000 grant to fund the project, the mayors office said.
Stamford received the City Canvases grant in partnership with the Stamford Cultural Development Corp. The grant is a one-time initiative aimed at enhancing public space with large works of art.
Guidelines for artists will be published shortly for anyone interested in submitting plans for the conception, design and execution of the mural.
The City Canvases grant with its cutting-edge artist expression, will create a welcoming beacon for travelers, enhance individual way finding, improve safety and brand Stamfords gateway with a signature new look, Mayor Michael Pavia said in the statement.
This marks the second grant the city has received in the past few months to upgrade the Stamford Transportation Center. In December, it received a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery for $10.5 million.
