This painting celebrates the bravery and open mindedness of the eager young seamen looking to embark on expeditions to seek the potential of wealth. In the front we see an excited mid nineteenth century American tradesman greeting an Indian merchant. In the back and side we see The Empress of China (1783), the first American ship to sail to the States of China. Outlined behind the tradesmen are the international trade routes developed by Salem's commercial vessels. Also depicted are some of Salem's most profitable trade items: molasses, pepper, a ceramic teacup pouring tea, sugar cubes, and codfish.

Statement of Purpose Salem, Massachusetts is community of 41,000 people that is rich in art, culture, and history. Its residents are passionate about their hometown and graciously welcome one million visitors each year. In fact, Salem is the second most visited place in Massachusetts. In recent years a proliferation of above ground Lighting and Signal control Boxes (LSBs) has sprouted in downtown Salem and in other areas of the city. Their bland, standard presence usually detracts from the setting where they are placed. In the interest of enhancing the visual experience for residents and visitors in this great walking city, the City of Salem is inviting artists to help transform these stoic industrial essentials into visual and graphic delights that will provide an entertaining and stimulating experience to passersby. ArtBox 2012, 2013 and 2014 resulted in a total of 18 LSBs being transformed, and the City has identified six additional LSBs for ArtBox 2015. Selected artists for the 2015 program will receive a $500 stipend. Who can participate? Anyone except artists selected for ArtBox 2012, 2013, and 2014--can apply to paint an LSB, and invitations will be extended to anyone willing to meet the requirements of this call for artists. A general invitation to submit proposals is being issued to the public—both amateur and professional artists—as well as art and educational institutions.We would like to have the broadest possible reach in hope of acquiring the highest level of talent and imagination for this project. (Participants from art educational institutions may consist of students, faculty and alumni.) A jury will make selection recommendations, and final approval will be made by the City of Salem. Artists'Proposals Artists' proposals should be based on the dimensions of the enclosed"Electrical Box Diagram"and should include all sides of the LSB.

The inspiration for my artwork came from the totemic art of the Pacific Northwest. I am drawn to the simple, graphic style of these totem-pole-like animals. Each spirit animal represents a certain trait or quality that can be connected to an individual in a family. These animal representations also remind me of masks, which in turn reminds me of Salem during the fall!The animals in this drawing are a wolf, an eagle, an otter, a bear, a beaver, and a fox. The top is the sun. (Five out of the six animals represent my family's totem animal.) The weeks that I am unavailable to paint are July 2-6, and August 8-16. Thank you for this opportunity.

Proposals will be ineligible if they involve: • A breach of intellectual property rights (i.e., somebody else's idea); • Trademarks, brand or business names, logos or copyrighted images; • Anything that is harmful to a third party; • Collage or gluing anything onto the box.
