Utility Box Murals Proposal
Proposal to Hire Artists Gains Steam
A recent KGUN 9 report on our proposal to hire artists to paint utility boxes has gained allot of support.
The Arts Brigade proposal to hire local artists to paint utility boxes hit the news recently. City Council Members have realized that a great deal of money can be saved while we beautify the city, and put artists to work doing what they do best. It’s a win win for everyone. The concept is simple. The city, local utilities and property owners are painting over the same areas over and over, year in and year out. When a well designed mural is installed it’s a one time cost that pays for itself in less than 2 years. Suddenly the tagging stops. Taggers like everyone else respect well considered works of art.
We are very hopeful that this proposal will come to reality. When it does we will issue a call to artists via this very newsletter, so stay tuned!
