Cal Poly Campus Beautification Initiative: Utility Art Box Project

 

Now Accepting Applications 

Cal Poly Campus Beautification Initiative: 

Utility Art Box Project


Cal Poly is spearheading an effort to beautify the campus through the transformation of utility boxes and similar utility infrastructure into canvases for works of public art to enhance the vibrancy of campus, showcase local talent, and deter graffiti. The Utility Box Art Project will provide an opportunity to introduce themes to campus, create a sense of place and identity, and inspire thought. It will also be a chance to showcase artistic talent and encourage the Cal Poly community to engage with their surroundings. The Utility Box Art Project is a fun and unique opportunity for Cal Poly students, faculty, staff and community members to add their creative touches to the campus landscape.

Applications are now being accepted.  Students, faculty, staff and community members are invited to submit an application via email to:  af@calpoly.edu by February 15, 2023. Selected artists will be notified in March 2023 and will receive a $250 Amazon gift card to cover material costs.  The Utility Box Art Project guidelines and application can be found here.
