Artists Decorate Utility Boxes In Shaker Heights
The latest project from the Shaker Arts Council has concluded and the fruits of their labor can be seen by all.
SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — The latest Shaker Arts Council project has been completed and residents and drivers can see the exhibit any time they please. The Painting the Town project saw the artistic wrapping of utility boxes in Shaker Towne Center.
Three of the boxes are located along Chagrin Boulevard, at the intersection of Avalon, Lee and Chelton roads. Two other boxes are on Lee Road, at Van Aken and Lomond boulevards. A sixth box will be installed October 26, 2019 in front of the Stephanie Tubbs Community Center on Lee Road.
The art featured on the utility boxes ranges widely in style, from the whimsical to the abstract.
