Rancho Cucamonga, California – Get ready to unleash your creativity! The City of Rancho Cucamonga is issuing a Call For Artists for their Utility Box Beautification Program. As a dynamic initiative under RC Public Art, we’re on a mission to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. The program focuses on expanding art in infrastructure and enhancing people’s experiences in public spaces, covering mundane utility boxes with vibrant public art that reflects our community.
The City is seeking artists to design four (4) utility boxes that will bring a new level of color and creativity to the city. The project will transform blank canvases into functional artwork and highlight the work of local artists to help create a more vibrant, attractive cityscape while contributing to the character of the neighborhood. The chosen art designs will be printed on vinyl and installed on the box.
Local emerging artists are invited to showcase their talents, while promoting eye-catching public art throughout the city. The submission period runs until January 4, or until 100 applications have been received.
The four (4) utility box locations are:
Wilson Ave. and San Sevine Rd.
Hermosa Ave. and Feron St.
6th St. and The Resort Pkwy.
Church St. and Elm St. West
Artists selected for this project will work closely with City staff and a third-party vendor to finalize designs and install their artwork on the utility boxes. Artists that have been selected will receive a $750.00 stipend for the design and completion of the project. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is committed to supporting the arts and promoting creativity in the community. The Utility Box Beautification Program is an exciting opportunity for local artists to showcase their talent and make a lasting impact on the city’s public spaces.
