This Call for Artists is for a Beyond the Box – Utility Box Art Program, in which artists will design vinyl utility box wraps for selected utility boxes throughout various locations in Glendale. The program goal is to bring beauty to unexpected places such as public infrastructure and utility boxes.

The theme for this year is Celebrating Glendale. Applicants are encouraged to develop a design focusing on what makes Glendale special. Examples may include historic landmarks such as the Alex Theatre, vibrant outdoor spaces like Verdugo Park and Deukmejian Park, library branches like Brand Library & Art Center, or Glendale Police Department and Glendale Fire Department WellnessK9s, Brisket and Cooper.  Artists are highly encouraged to incorporate these characteristics and resources distinct to Glendale in their designs.

The Arts and Culture Commission (ACC) will fund $750.00 per utility box design rendering only. The ACC will select artwork for5 utility boxes. Selected finalists will submit a final design rendering to be printed onto a vinyl wrap which will cover the exterior of a utility box. Artists will not be printing or installing the vinyl wraps. 

Beyond the Box is open to all local and regional artists. The ACC encourages both new and established artists to apply. Artists may apply as an individual artist or as a group. City of Glendale employees are not eligible to apply.

Beyond the Box is supported by the City of Glendale and the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission.

Studio Montclair is pleased to announce an Open Call for an exhibition,

“Things We Carry – a Contemporary Asian Experience”.

Stories of immigration often incorporate the idea of worn baggage, as in, what has

been brought over - intangibly/theoretically/philosophically, and sometimes

subconsciously - and ingrained into our sense of home. This exhibition seeks works

from artists responding to the multitudes that Asians/Asian-Americans carry, represent

and experience, as a modern collective. We encourage artists to reflect on our deep

appreciation for tradition while also affirming our sense of belonging and place.

JUROR: Adriana Proser - Curator of Asian Art and

Chief Curator at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD.

I design mini wax sculptures for sip and paint events, for wedding parties, as gifts and as invitation send offs.  I also design them for couple date nights. I am starting a new trend in the art world and would love to share it with the world. It's something different,  amazing with Individual visions and one of a kind art pieces. We have over 1000 mini sculptures for any occasion. You would just have to experience it for yourself and you would love it too.
