COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Art on Boxes Adds Color and Character to Downtown
Over the past few weeks, Temple City has seen a colorful transformation as part of the Art on Boxes Campaign, a component of the Las Tunas Drive Streetscape Project. With guidance from 11:11 Projects and support from local youth artists, more than 20 utility boxes have already been hand-painted with murals that reflect the city’s identity — from camellias and native parrots to historic references like the Red Car and astronaut Steven Lindsey.
The remaining boxes are expected to be completed soon. Residents and visitors are encouraged to take a stroll through Downtown and experience the artwork in person. The boxes are located on the side streets along Las Tunas Drive, between Loma and Kauffman Avenues. The campaign aims to enhance public space, foster community pride, and create a sense of place through accessible and locally inspired art.
