Artworks on street cabinets

We’re smarter for cities

Keep Australia Beautiful estimates the cost of graffiti to Australia is $2.7 billion each year. Urban Smart Projects reduces maintenance costs. An empirical report measured that artworked street cabinets are rarely graffitied with 84% of artworks remaining free of graffiti for at least six years. Let us know if you'd like the report.  A Melbourne council reported every cabinet artworked by Urban Smart Projects saved $3,000 per year in maintenance. How many graffitied cabinets do you have in your city?

"Urban Smart Projects deliver great value and great management. I recommend them and their initiative. Brilliant community project."

"The Signal Box project has been really well received within the Hobart community. A wide range of people from young children through to professional artists have participated in the project."

Community & Cultural Programs, City of Hobart, Hobart TASMANIA

Sunshine Coast Council have had the pleasure of engaging Urban Smart Projects to deliver two traffic signal box projects over the last two years. The outcomes are engaging for the community and provide opportunities for local artists to be part of the cultural and visual voice in the region. Urban Smart Projects' professionalism and quality service makes working with them a pleasure.

Community Programs and Events, Sunshine Coast Regional Council

"Urban Smart Projects have managed Brisbane City Council’s Artforce project, an award winning anti-graffiti strategy that includes painting of the City’s traffic signal boxes, for over 13 years. They have proven to be great project managers with an in depth knowledge of street cabinet mural initiatives."
