Calling All Student Artists!

Greenlink is collaborating with the City of Greenville Youth Commission and the City of Greenville Arts in Public Places Commission on a contest to beautify bus stop shelters with inspiring artwork submitted by local high school students. The goals of this project are to help raise awareness about the Youth Commission, increase civic engagement and understanding of public transit, and provide access to public art throughout our community. Submissions are due March 4 and up to six designs will be selected. The winning artwork will be installed in up to six Greenlink bus stop shelters (one design per shelter) by wrapping the outside of the rear glass panels of the shelters with vinyl decals.
