Artists Call
Utility Box Public Art
Attention Artists! Newcastle Art Council and the City of Newcastle (Contracting Parties) are seeking design proposals from local artists for a vinyl graphic wrap on a dual utility control box grouping in Newcastle. Designs should relate to the culture, history, and/or landscape of specific location and the surrounding area where this dual utility control box grouping is located (more specific information is outlined below). This project is intended to transform two utility control box cabinets into a visually appealing, enjoyable addition to the public right of way.

For this process we could use your assistance. Do you have a great idea for a program? If so, we want to hear about it. Do you have a special artistic talent you would like to share with the community? If so, we would love to showcase your talents during an on-line course or lesson taught by you for the community.
