UTILITY BOXES >
As you drive around Saco, you’ ll likely see the artwork of two 2025 Thornton graduates. The Saco Arts Commission selected the creative work of Lilly Page( left) and Ella Wiggs to decorate a pair of utility boxes in Saco.
The Traffic Signal Cabinet Renovation Project, now in its fourth year, features a partnership between Thornton Academy and the Saco Arts Commission. Art teacher Jodi Thomas’ Advanced Placement Art & Design students are invited to submit entries in a competition to design art for the City’ s traffic signal cabinets.
Lilly’ s and Ella’ s designs were transformed into vinyl wraps to put on boxes that sit on the corner of Buxton Road and Hillview Avenue( Lilly), as well as at the intersection of Portland Road and Cascade Road( Ella).
The two were recognized at a Saco City Council meeting in June.
