Sponsored by the City of Yonkers’ Office of Economic Development for Yonkers Business Week 2007, the Art Truck project transformed six garbage trucks into fun and attractive “mobile art galleries.” Original designs for the trucks were created by regional artists to promote the “clean and safe environment” mission of the Yonkers’ Department of Public Works. The artists’ designs were printed on outdoor vinyl and wrapped around the entire body and cab of each truck. These eye-catching Art Trucks travel routes covering every district in the City. They have also been invited to appear at a variety of community festivals and parades, raising the public’s awareness of the vital role the workers play in maintaining a clean and safe environment for the community. Additionally, the Art Trucks have fostered a partnership between the local schools and the Department of Public Works. The resulting educational program brings the Art Trucks to the schools as a tool to generate discussions among students about the larger issues of sustaining a healthy environment for all.
