Eligibility <br />This Call for Artists is open to all adult and student practicing artists. The Call is also open to <br />Art Teachers that are interested in mentoring a group of students. All entries must be an <br />original design and artwork of the entrant and mast be suitable for viewing by all ages. <br />Description and Location of Utility Boxes <br />The City's Utility Boxes vary in size, but typically they are 4 feet, 7 inches tall; 3 feet, 234 inches <br />wide; and 2 feet, 2 inches deep. The boxes are currently grey and will require several <br />sequential applications of paint to complete the project (1. sand 2. prime 3. paint with acrylics <br />4. finishing with anti - graffiti clear coat). The boxes are visible to pedestrian, automobile, and <br />other passing traffic. <br />Although specific utility boxes are not selected for this project, the Commission for the Arts is <br />encouraging artists to choose boxes located on major thoroughfares into and throughout <br />Livermore. The streets are as follows, <br />• Stanley Boulevard between Isabel Avenue and Holmes Street <br />• North Livermore Avenue between 580 and Railroad Avenue <br />The Commission is also encouraging Art Teachers and students to select utility boxes near <br />their school. <br />This call is only for the City of Livermore Utility Boxes. If you choose a location that contains <br />more than one box, the City's box is the largest of each of the boxes. <br />You may not choose to place art on a utility box that was painted in a previous year. <br />Artwork Opportunity <br />The proposed Utility Box Mural art must be acrylic paint and cover all four sides and the top of <br />the box. <br />The art should enliven the area, transform the street and reflect the neighborhood or area <br />where the utility box is located. Due to the location of the boxes, the art should be visible from <br />a distance; therefore you may choose to utilize bold colors and designs. Additional <br />consideration can be given to a project that showcases Livermore's cultural diversity, historic <br />heritage, or acknowledges a key activity that takes place in the area. <br />Artists can submit more than one concept for the same location. <br />The art cannot restrict any vents or airflow through the boxes. City maintenance crews must <br />be able to fully access the components inside the box at all times. <br />Artists are responsible for prepping and painting the utility box. An anti- graffiti clear coat <br />must be applied to protect the art upon completion. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />25E -38 <br />
