Electrical Box Project 2019
Open to those who WORK, PLAY, or LIVE in Marlborough
Last summer the city launched its Electrical Box Project and provided Boston artist Franklin Marval of Cyanta Studios with 3 colorful and eye-catching panoramic photographs. Marval generated adhesive photographic scans that were installed on city electrical boxes.
With the success of the first 3 boxes, the city has plans to expand this beautification effort and recently received a grant from the Cultural Council for that purpose.
For this fourth box, the city would like to feature the work of a local artist.
Artists who are 14 years old and older, and work, live or play in Marlborough are encouraged to apply. Each submission should be colorful and represent a location or aspect of Marlborough. The chosen artist will be required to submit their artwork to be scanned by Cyanta Studios and installed early summer.
The winning artist will be notified and receive $300 for their commissioned work. This is a great opportunity to showcase your talent and add to your portfolio.
Interested artists should email a picture of their artwork by May 20, 2019 created in a horizontal and rectangular format to lcordischi@marlborough-ma.gov along with their name, address, phone #, email, description of work.
Questions: please email the City’s Event Coordinator Leanne Cordischi lcordischi@marlboroug-ma.gov.
