The Mill Valley Arts Commission's   Art in Public Places  program is designed to bring the power and delight of art into our everyday experiences of our natural environment through the transformation of ordinary objects - the utility box, the  park bench, the mailbox, the ping pong table, etc.

This   Public Art Program Art in Public Places  includes five program elements; one of which is PaintBox; the aim of this project is to highlight local artists within our community and, in doing so, brighten up the streets, beautifying ugly utility boxes and deterring vandalism.

Selected artists or artist groups will receive a $500 artist honorarium plus a materials reimbursement for materials and supplies not to exceed $250.

Click here  to view and download the PaintBox Program Packet, which includes a program overview, a map of the City utility boxes, required attachment information, terms of submission, artist application, liability disclaimer, and design template and samples and program FAQs.

The deadline to send in your  application , application attachments and utility box design template is Friday, March 15th, 2019 by 5pm by email only to  [email protected]
