Oakley Calls for Artists to Paint Utility Boxes
|
The City of Oakley is seeking artists to showcase their artwork on 10 utility boxes located throughout Oakley. The goal of this project is to beautify Oakley, deter unsightly graffiti, and bring art into unexpected places. Utility boxes should reflect the surrounding environment and showcase Oakley's rich agricultural history and our unique appeal as "A Place for Families in the Heart of the Delta."
Artists are invited to complete the application and submit their proposed design to the Recreation Division by August 19th at 5pm to be considered for selection. Completed applications will be presented to the Oakley City Council at the City Council Meeting scheduled for September 13th at 6:30pm. Selected artists will receive a stipend of $250 when they begin the project and an additional $250 when the project is complete.
The City Council will consider artistic excellence, innovation, how well the artwork reflects Oakley's heritage and how well the art work reflects and enhances the surrounding environment. Those interested can obtain more information regarding this opportunity by visiting the City website.
