Have You Seen 'boxART!' Around Fremont?

boxART!, Fremont’s utility box to art program, is officially on the streets! We are thrilled with the completion of our first three boxART! boxes.

Three artists began painting on Saturday, October 25 as part of Fremont’s Make A Difference Day activities. After two weeks of extremely hard work, they have created murals that both beautify neighborhoods and communicate our city’s values. These boxes are visible at the corner of Paseo Padre Parkway and Walnut Avenue; Paseo Padre Parkway and Chadbourne Drive; and Washington and Mission boulevards.

The artists are extremely gratified with the community’s response. Many people stopped by when they were painting to say how much they appreciated their talents, efforts, and the program as a whole.

In the next few weeks, three additional utility boxes will be transformed into art boxes, with more in the planning stages. At this time, we are seeking sponsors for these designs. If you would like to learn how to sponsor a box, please contactboxART! Program Manager Susan Longini at boxart@fremont.gov or 510-494-4555.
