The Franklin Cultural District is pleased to announce it has selected the artists for the first ever Utility Box Artsy Initiative! We were excited to see so much interest in this public art initiative from local artists. We thank all the artists for their submissions.
Each artist selected has submitted a winning design and over the next few weeks will re-create their concepts on selected utility boxes throughout Franklin's Cultural District. The designs were created to reflect the local area and surroundings of where the boxes are located and the artist's interpretation of these surroundings.
Weather permitting, we hope to have the unveiling of these public art projects late April, early May 2023.
The selected artists for this initiative are as follows:
- Shilpa Adduri
- Molly Dee
- Julia Dwinell
- Greyson Higgins
- Jeni LaBollita
- Bridge Powers
- Ren Schultz
We are excited to work with these incredibly talented local artists, as we continue to promote and encourage arts and culture throughout the Franklin community!
Note: The listing of the utility box locations was included in the post announcing the call for artists -> https://www.franklinmatters.org/2023/01/call-for-artists-please-join-us-in.html The boxes are supposed to be primed by DPW (this week?) and once primed (painted white), they should be easier to pick out.
Three of the boxes are shown here:
