Utility Box Beautification Project

In early 2024, the City of Spruce Grove launched a call to artists for an exciting new initiative to transform utility boxes into works of public art. With the goal of celebrating the city's cultural and ecological diversity and adding vibrancy to public places, the project garnered an enthusiastic response. The quality of submissions was exceptional, showcasing the immense talent within our community and beyond.

Through a careful selection process, 16 unique artworks were chosen to wrap 31 utility boxes, bringing bold and creative expressions to the heart of Spruce Grove. The Utility Box Beautification Project is an ongoing commitment by the City to enhance public spaces through the power of art. By transforming utility boxes into artistic displays, we’re creating cultural landmarks that reflect the community’s diverse voices and perspectives.

We want to thank the talented artists who collaborated with their incredible work to bring this project to life: Alaynee Goodwill-Littlechild, Ambrose Cardinal, Emma Guido, Emma Wood, Harinderpal Singh, Josh Harnack, Justin Beamish, Kim Stewart, Linda Wright, Mike J. Smith, and Roger Garcia.
