The City of Port St. Lucie is proud to announce the first round of selected photographic submissions for its Utility Box Art Wrap Program, a vibrant initiative that aims to transform everyday infrastructure into meaningful public art.

On June 9, the Public Art Advisory Board presented the top 15 selections to the City Council, which enthusiastically approved the artists for installation. The program reflects the City’s commitment to celebrating local talent while enhancing the beauty and identity of our streetscapes.

The selected works represent a wide range of natural subjects and photographic styles, all contributed by local artists and residents who responded to the City's recent Call to Artists.
