Campbell Artists Needed To 'Think Outside The Box' - Literally!

News from the City of Campbell:

The City’s Civic Improvement Commission invites local artists to take part in Campbell’s new “Art Outside the Box” utility box art program.

Modeled after San Jose’s program, this unique street art program allows artists to showcase their artwork on City-owned traffic control utility boxes located throughout Campbell.

The program will be funded through sponsorships and individual donations. Individuals, families, neighborhood groups, businesses, and local civic and other non-profit organizations are welcome and encouraged to sponsor the painting of artwork on a utility box.

This new program is intended to enhance the beauty and vibrancy of our community, discourage graffiti on utility boxes, and bring colorful public art to Campbell.

“All around the Bay Area, artwork is appearing in the most unlikely places. The City is pleased to bring this fun idea for public art to the streets of Campbell”, says Civic Improvement Commissioner Alan Zisser.

The Civic Improvement Commission is currently seeking local artists interested in displaying their art by painting up to ten utility boxes scattered throughout Campbell.

Interested artists are asked to fill out an application, located on the City’s website: http://www.cityofcampbell.com/artbox.

The deadline for applications is April 3, 2015 at 5:00 p.m.

Information on artist eligibility, guidelines, utility box locations, and sponsorships may also be found on the website.
