Vancouver artists invited to create pieces to
decorate utility boxes
The City of Vancouver is
looking for artists to create
designs to be digitized and
printed on vinyl wraps for
approximately 30 utility boxes
in Vancouver. The ongoing
project enhances the public
realm by adding local artists’
work to surfaces that are often
targeted by graffiti.
Artists will be paid a
total of $1000.00 for each
approved wrap design and its
ongoing use on one or more
utility boxes.
Utility boxes are found at
major traffic intersections; the
largest measure 90” tall by
33” wide and 24” deep.
