Announces creation of non-profit organization
Tiffin Municipal Arts Commission (TMAC) and the City of Tiffin are bringing back the successful traffic box art contest for the second year. The winning original artworks will be used as vinyl wraps on traffic signal boxes at intersections throughout the community. The three boxes available for original artwork are located at Sycamore St. & Ella St., S. Washington St. & Riverside Dr., and at Six’s Corners on N. Washington and W. Davis St. Interested artists can submit their application Here and full details can be found Here.
Applicants must be Tiffin residents or attend school in Tiffin, and submissions are due by 5 p.m. on July 8, 2023.
The winning artists will each receive a $100 stipend for the artwork that will be payable when the Artist Release form is submitted and approved by the City of Tiffin.
TMAC has recently announced their 501c3 non-profit, Tiffin Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts (TFAA).
President Ryan Poignon explained “Becoming a non-profit will allow TMAC to carry maintenance funds for public artworks year to year and for fundraising of larger public art projects in the future. It will allow for more flexibility in fundraising and applying for grants. After months of exploring various options, TMAC and the City of Tiffin determined that a non-profit would be the best path forward. “
