North Park
Street Gallery

In January 2004, the North Park Street Gallery entered its final phase of utility box painting. Throughout North Park more utility boxes were transformed into works of art by local artists. Artists came and painted the boxes in wide variety of styles and themes.

This phase of the North Park Street Gallery will continue until all of the utility boxes in North Park are changed into artwork. Already dozens of boxes have been painted by local artists and there are many more still to be painted.

North Park Main Street is presently accepting designs for a utility box art project. All interested artists are encouraged to submit a design. All designs are judged by a panel of jurors.

The North Park Street gallery began in 2001 and was organized by UCSD intern Julie Edelman. Funds were generously provided by a grant from the San Diego Foundation which was able to pay for the paints and supplies. The North Park Street Gallery began in the heart of North Park and has since moved outwards.
