Next time you take a walk down Dickson Street, take a moment to notice the utility boxes that have been covered with beautiful paintings by local artists. The City of Fayetteville started the utility box beautification project with the goal of reducing graffiti by turning these boxes into art. The project is managed by the Keep Fayetteville Beautiful Committee in partnership with the Fayetteville Police Department. The KFB committee also serves to reduce litter across the City. This is a volunteer effort that any local artists can participate in. The committee provides complimentary materials to the artists to complete the painting projects.
Here at the Chamber, we endorse and applaud public art in the community. While the City works to beautify these utility boxes in the community, the Chamber partnered with Fayetteville High School to create public art murals annually for five years. This will give our younger generation the opportunity to tell their story about living in Fayetteville while cultivating the culture of the arts. Fayetteville High School is already active in the public art scene, creating their "Where Dreams are Made" piece on the utility box at the Arkansas Avenue and Dickson Street intersection.
If you are a local artist interested in painting a mural on a utility box, you can submit your proposal to the Keep Fayetteville Beautiful Committee. You can reach out to Brian Pugh at bpugh@fayetteville-ar.gov or Cameron Baker at cbaker@fayettevillear.com.
