Chapel Hill Transit Bus Stop Mural

Art + Transit saw their Artistic Bus Shelter opportunity as a way to provide everyday engagement with art and the community. Past artists have decorated Chapel Hill and Carrboro bus shelter windows with designs ranging from abstract murals to iconic Chapel Hill landmarks in a variety of mediums from acrylic paint to adhesive vinyl and screen prints.

Artistic bus shelters provide access to art in a way that anyone who happens by that space can see it; making art more accessible to the community. Made possible by Chapel Hill Transit and Town of Chapel Hill Community Arts & Culture, Calva was one of the artists chosen to customize a bus shelter. The design represents the shelter’s purpose, serving as an “umbrella” shielding us from rain and other outside factors.
