OmniRide & KPWB Bus Stop Beautification Project

OmniRide and Keep Prince William Beautiful (KPWB)—along with Prince William County Neighborhood Services, Parks, Recreation & Tourism; Apple Federal Credit Union, and Amazon Web Services in Communities (AWS)—have partnered in a Bus Stop Beautification Project, which transforms designated bus shelters in Prince William County into canvases of public art designed by local artists. This is an annual project.

Each year, a selection of local bus shelter locations feature work by a different artist. Artists are selected through an open call for proposals by KWPB. Artists are encouraged to visit their selected shelter locations to see the neighborhood, surrounding community, and its cultural influences to inspire them to create their works. Each artist receives a $500 grant to create the artwork and receives half of the proceeds gained at an auction for the sale of their artwork after a year.
