In the summer of 2023, the BelRed Mural program brought new life into BelRed Arts District, infusing the neighborhood with vibrant colors, compelling narratives, and awe-inspiring imagery. The Arts Commission has selected a group of talented local artists with unique styles and perspectives.

The Utility Box Wraps program is launched in phases, the first phase covered 15 utility boxes in BelRed in 2021. The program began by covering utility boxes in BelRed with artworks from local Eastside-based artists. For additional information on the program, plus artist bios download the info sheet here.

Cities gain value through public art – cultural, social, and economic value. Public art humanizes the built environment and invigorates public spaces. It provides an intersection between past, present and future, between disciplines, and between ideas. Public art is freely accessible. - American for the Arts
