Utility Box Art

Utility Box Art  Program

This popular Public Art Program has added color and character to Dublin’s streets, while deterring graffiti and other forms of vandalism.  The City of Dublin currently has over thirty painted utility boxes spread throughout Dublin.  

Look for these the next time you are out and about in Dublin.  

Get Involved

The City of Dublin invites qualified professional artists, or high school student artists working under the supervision of an art teacher or art professional, to submit designs for painted utility boxes, beginning February 14, 2022 through April 22, 2022. All painted utility boxes are City-owned traffic signal boxes. Selected artists will be paid a $1,000 stipend per utility box painted.  

DESIGN THEME:  Dublin is celebrating its 40th anniversary since its incorporation in 1982. The City is seeking proposals that illustrate events, milestones, landmarks, and/or Dublin’s diversity since its incorporation. 

In addition to the theme, proposing artists are encouraged to review existing utility box art collection and develop proposals that are unique and unlike anything the City already has. 

All proposals must be received by Heritage and Cultural Arts Supervisor Tyler Phillips by Friday, April 22, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
