CALL FOR ART

We are excited to invite our members to submit their work for our upcoming exhibition, Inspired. This is an opportunity for you to showcase a piece of art that was born from inspiration. We believe that every artwork tells a story, and behind every piece is a unique spark of creativity that drives its creation. Inspiration can come from a fleeting moment, a powerful emotion, a conversation, or a personal experience that ignited your vision, we want to see how inspiration has shaped your work.

The City invites amateur or professional artists of all ages to participate in a public art initiative to beautify streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces. The project transforms metal utility boxes into vibrant works of art that reflect Florida’s natural beauty. As new utility boxes are installed, they will be decorated with wraps of the artwork. New wraps are also installed to replace fading or damaged installations to keep the displays fresh.

Artists are encouraged to submit artwork that celebrates nature with depictions of local flora and fauna, landscapes and natural environments, endangered species or unique neighborhood characteristics. There are no restrictions on the type of art that can be submitted, as drawings, paintings and photographs will all be considered. Submissions will be reviewed by the City’s Public Art Advisory Board, which will evaluate pieces based on artistic quality, relevance to the theme and printability.
