Have you noticed the gorgeous artwork that has been beautifying the city on those drab electrical boxes? On all 4 sides too! Newton BoxArt projects are everywhere.

We saw our guy working on his below on Commonwealth Avenue at Washington Blvd. It’s timely! And coincides well because this is the turn to the bottom of Boston Marathon’s infamous Heartbreak Hill! I like how there are 4 sides that connect into a 3 dimensional piece of art.

There are more boxes that can be painted!

If you would like to submit your design to paint one, submit your application soon. The deadlines are June 15 and August 1.

The application is on line at www.newtoncommunitypride.org or on the City of Newton website/Government/Cultural Affairs/Mayor’s Office for Cultural Affairs/Public Art RFP: NewtonSERVES Box Art Project. Call (617) 527-8283 for more information.

p.s. This is at Commonwealth Avenue at Walnut Street. It’s so perfect because it’s near Newton Free Library and Newton City Hall! I don’t think that this placement is a coincidence!

p.s. Send me photos of your favorite BoxART Projects and we will post them here!
