Franklin Cultural District Select its Artists

Update: The Franklin Cultural District is pleased to announce it has selected the artists for the first ever Utility Box Artys Initiative! We were excited to see so much interest in this public art initiative from local artists. We thank all the artists for their submissions. Each artist selected has submitted a winning design and over the next few weeks will re-create their concepts on selected utility boxes throughout Franklin's Cultural District. The designs were created to reflect the local area and surroundings of where the boxes are located and the artist's interpretation of these surroundings.  Weather permitting, we hope to have the unveiling of these public art projects late April, early May 2023.

The selected artists for this initiative are as follows:

• Shilpa Adduri 
• Molly Dee
• Julia Dwinell 
• Greyson Higgins
• Jeni LaBollita 
• Bridge Powers 
• Ren Schultz 

We are excited to work with these incredibly talented local artists, as we continue to promote and encourage arts and cultural throughout the Franklin community!
