Utility Box Art Project

 

 

City of Calexico Utility Box Art Project 

 

Mission:  To create a more vibrant and attractive cityscape by providing a public art initiative designed to transform common utility boxes into distinctive works of art.

Procedures: The City is proposing to decorate City-owned utility boxes with art and/or photography wrapping. The overall installation will be completed by a vinyl wrap sign company, complete with necessary preparations, including scraping, sanding and/or priming. The vinyl material used is designed to protect graphic surfaces from stains, abrasion, UV light and graffiti. City-owned utility boxes are the only ones available under this program.

Thank you to all the artists who participated in this call for artworks!!
