The visual arts are a creative medium for telling and sharing stories that bring meaning significance, and knowledge to the eyes of the beholder. It is this spirit that the SDOT Signal Box Project was developed. The project began with the inspiration of the box at 23rd Ave & E. Union depicting community entrepreneur. Earl Lancaster. In the first phase of the HCAACD Signal Box Project, six boxes will recognize community history makers with their portrait.

Thank you to artists Desmond Hansen and Perry Porter for making the project a success.
Special Thank You to Seattle Office of Economic Development and SDOT.
