The Arts and Culture Commission will fund up to $750.00 per utility box, inclusive of all artist’s fees, paints and materials. The Commission anticipates selecting artwork for twenty-four utility boxes. Please visit the City of Glendale website for application guidelines. The deadline to apply is April 13, 2015.
