Specifications include, but are not limited to: The NYC Department of Sanitation is seeking volunteer artists for Trucks of Art, a new public art project to transform 23-ton collection vehicles into roving works of art. These heavy-duty machines offer nearly 400 square feet of “canvas,” and artists may leverage the trucks’ sides, front and back in their works. Trucks of Art will highlight the importance of sustainability and honor New York’s Strongest, the workforce that keeps New York City healthy, safe and clean – while adding a bit of flair to neighborhoods as we serve them. Because the Department is leading New Yorkers to send zero waste to landfills, artists are challenged with utilizing paints that would otherwise be discarded or recycled.
