Public Art Opportunity

Special Project: Jersey Barrier Design Request for Proposal

NYCDOT, in partnership with the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit (CAU) and New York Cares, a local not-for-profit organization, that mobilizes New Yorkers in volunteer service, is launching an initiative to improve the appearance of jersey barriers at specific locations throughout the Boroughs.

NYCDOT invites artists and designers to submit designs to be painted directly onto a number of selected barriers on-site or in storage. With the addition of colorful and creative designs, the once ordinary and functional barriers will become a welcome surprise for passersby. Download the Request for Proposals (pdf).
