1. Choose the Paint a Box menu, then select Available Boxes. Search for a TSB in your residential area. Shortlist and then request the TSB and login to your personal ‘dashboard’ (If you haven’t registered follow the link to the short registration process). If you are registering for the first time you will be sent an email to confirm your email address. Once this is done you can login to your dashboard.
2. Once logged in to your dashboard you will be required to confirm your contact details and complete a short quiz. You can also download the Artist Agreement to get more information about the project.
3. From your dashboard you will then be able to download a design template. Create full colour designs of exactly what you want to paint on the TSB and upload your design. Enter a Title for your design and also a Background (about 30 words). At this point you can also specify ‘additional artists’ - if anyone else is helping you paint the TSB please list their name here.
4. Urban Smart Projects will advise you whether your design has been approved.
5. Once approved, you will be asked to specify the dates that you’d like to paint the TSB. You have a maximum of four weeks to do this. Once you have nominated your painting dates download the Artist Agreement, read carefully and sign the last page. You can either scan in your signed agreement and upload it to the website or fax/post it to us.
6. Once your agreement has been processed you will then receive notification of the date your Equipment Pack will be delivered and be able to download your ‘Authority to Paint Notice’. Please have this notice with you when you are painting the TSB. The notice will confirm the details of the TSB you are painting, your approved painting dates and details of where and when your Equipment Pack will be delivered.
7. A courier will deliver your Equipment Pack to a specific address. You’ll find everything you need to paint the TSB in the Equipment Pack (including quality paint) except for paintbrushes, water for cleaning up and other cleaning products you may need to clean the TSB before you start. Please ensure you read the Information Sheet in the Pack before you go to commence painting. Please also read the sheet titled How to Photograph Your TSB.
8. Have fun painting and keep safe while at work. TSBs are almost always located at busy intersections so please take care. You may need to paint your TSB over multiple sessions, making sure you pack up carefully after each session (including removing the keyhole and ID plate protectors). When you are finished your artwork take photographs as directed.
9. Once you have completed painting the TSB log in to your dashboard on the Urban Smart Projects website. From your dashboard you will be able to notify us that your equipment pack is ready for collection, upload photos of your completed TSB and submit feedback. Once all of these steps have been completed the photos of your TSB will be published to the website. You will also find links in your dashboard to publish your photos to your own facebook or twitter page.
