Introduction
The City of Pico Rivera is launching a Utility Box Art Program to showcase local artists and provide public art throughout the community. The City intends to install public art on City-owned utility boxes using vinyl wrap.
We invite community members, including art students, to participate in the program’s Final Phase*.
- Artistic excellence, innovation, and originality
