A joint project of the mayor's office and the Earth Island Institute, the 60 Boxes Project seeks youth and adult artists to decorate 60 downtown utility boxes that are now a drab gray. Designs should reflect the theme of "sustainability." There are separate application tracks for adult and youth artists. Adults should submit a digital portfolio of three to seven examples of completed works with a CV and artist statement.
