Eureka to Revive its Utility Box Art Program
The city of Eureka is set to revive its utility box art program, which was initially launched over seven years ago as part of the city's Strategic Arts Plan.
A local artist, Blake Reagan, recently painted a utility box at the corner of Fourth and F streets, sparking renewed interest in the program.
- The program was part of a multi-year endeavor that included street art festivals and the certification of downtown Eureka as a California Cultural District.
- The initial launch of the program saw several utility boxes receive creative makeovers, including a brightly colored donut cheeseburger on the corner of Fifth and H streets.
Government shutdown and healthcare cuts have been a concern, with Huffman blasting ‘disastrous health care cuts’ and Trump’s ‘blatant bullying’ as the shutdown enters week three.
The city is looking to revive the program and bring back the vibrant colors that once adorned the utility boxes.
