Introduction
The City of Pico Rivera is launching a Utility Box Art Program to showcase local artists and provide public art throughout the community. The City intends to install public art on City-owned utility boxes using vinyl wrap.
We invite community members, including art students, to participate in Phase Two of the program*.
- Artistic excellence, innovation, and originality
- Whether the art meets the goal of the project and has a broad appeal
- Whether the art transforms the project area
- Whether the art meets the theme:

- Represent various aspects of the City’s local history, past and present, to reflect the City’s diverse and multi-cultural heritage
