Shock Art Proposals

Art in Public Places in Longmont is looking for votes for 5 electrical boxes to be painted by local artists. There are over 20 box proposals and I submitted 2 of them. Voting started on May 20th at the Muse Gallery. Voting for the boxes will continue starting this Tuesday, May 24th and go on til June 12th at the Longmont Museum and Culture Center (400 Quail rd.)http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/museum/about/directions.htm The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday 9am - 5pm and Sunday 1pm - 5pm. The boxes that will be painted are at these locations:
1) HWY 66 & Pace
2) 17th & Francis
3) 10th & Francis
4) 6th & Terry
5) Pike & Miller


I am asking for anyone in Longmont, outside of Longmont, and those who know others in Longmont, to come out and vote. This is a big deal for me and could really give my art a shot in the arm it really needs. I also ask that you do vote fair and truly ponder what you would like to see on an electrical to replace that plain green color. There are five votes allowed.



I designed what I felt would be something that would cause people to want to take a picture of it, or just look at it, or even use it as a marker when giving directions. I did a Tiki box and a Robot box. Your votes are greatly appreciated. Here is the Tiki box (most of it):

Thank you!
