Los Angeles County Board Unanimously Approves Altadena Utility Box Art Program: $59,000 Agreement, 10 Boxes by Local Artists
Altadena, Los Angeles County, California — Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said on November 10 that the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved her motion launching the county first utility box artwork program in Altadena, transforming 10 utility boxes into works of public art.
The board action authorizes a $59,000 agreement with Altadena resident and artist Austin Scott, who will lead community engagement, select and contract with 10 local artists, and oversee implementation. Funding comes from the Fifth District civic art pooled funds, and the county Department of Arts and Culture and Department of Public Works will partner to deliver the project.
Barger said Altadena has a rich artistic history and its local artists deserve to be part of shaping what comes next, and that the project will create paid opportunities for them.
The Department of Public Works has identified 10 planned utility box locations throughout Altadena. Five are along Altadena Drive at New York Drive, Washington Boulevard, Lake Avenue, Lincoln Avenue and Fair Oaks Avenue, with additional locations on Lake Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, Woodbury Road and New York Drive. Each box will feature a different local artist, with artwork digitized and applied as graffiti and weather resistant vinyl wrap.
Scott has completed nine murals since the Eaton Fire, including an 85 foot mural along the Altadena Crest Trail created with more than 80 community volunteers and a 900 square foot mural that brought together more than 100 residents.
Barger office said more than 3,900 building permits have been issued and more than 220 homes have completed construction in Altadena since the Eaton Fire.
