Showcasing art on utility boxes

The City invites amateur or professional artists of all ages to participate in a public art initiative to beautify streets, neighborhoods and public spaces.

The project transforms metal utility boxes into vibrant works of art that reflect Florida’s natural beauty. As new utility boxes are installed, they will be decorated with wraps of the artwork. New wraps are also installed to replace fading or damaged installations to keep the displays fresh.

Artists are encouraged to submit artwork that celebrates nature with depictions of local flora and fauna. Photographs will be considered.

Submissions will be reviewed by the City’s Public Art Advisory Board, which will evaluate pieces based on artistic quality, relevance to the theme and printability.

Submission guidelines

• Submission period closes Wednesday, April 30.
• Submissions can be emailed to bgrubbs@cityofpsl.com.
• Artists may submit only one piece of artwork.
• The artwork must be submitted electronically as a high-resolution JPG file with a landscape orientation.
• The artist’s name, contact information and title of the piece must be included with the submission.
• Minors must include the name, relationship and contact information of their guardian.
