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 75 painted utility boxes spread throughout Dublin.  

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

2025 Program

The City of Dublin recently invited 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. The deadline for submission was April 14, 2025.  All approved utility boxes are City-owned traffic signal boxes. Selected artists will be paid a $1,000 stipend per utility box painted.  Utility boxes are scheduled to be painted In June-Sept, and this website will be updated once all are complete.

DESIGN THEME: The 2025 theme is "Urban Nature."  Artists were encouraged to be as creative as possible when developing their design that has both urban elements and elements from nature.
