Enlivening Public Spaces

Electrify Amherst! The Electrical Box Makeover Project

This project is designed to build upon the presence of public art in downtown Amherst and the Amherst Center Cultural District by inviting local artists to create unique and colorful paintings on three designated utility boxes.

See the bottom of this page for a slideshow of previously selected artists and their work as well as a time lapse video of the public art project.
