The Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission's (SCC&HC) ongoing, countywide public art project titled Gallery 24/7 provides a unique opportunity for Somerset County residents and visitors to access and enjoy the arts – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Gallery 24/7 has been transforming ordinary Traffic Control Boxes (TCBs) into eye-catching works of art since its start in 2010. Talented New Jersey visual artists are invited to create original art to be professionally applied to the exterior of select, county-owned TCBs – making Somerset County a more beautiful place to live, work, and play!
