Large-impact murals on the smallest of urban canvases

The Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation’s ARTBOX program transforms small utility boxes into vibrant works of art, showcasing local talent, celebrating the history and culture of Downtown Austin and beautifying our streets. Through a partnership with the City of Austin and Writing on the Walls, we select artists for each box, ensuring their designs reflect the unique character of their neighborhood.
