In 2014 the "Outside the Box" program was organized by Hartford's Marketing, Events, & Cultural Affairs Office (MECA) and Livable Sustainable Neighborhoods Initiative. Area artists were selected, and each winning artist was given a utility box on Franklin Avenue to paint, to create a series of painted utility boxes public art along Franklin Avenue.
The utility box on on Franklin Avenue at the intersection of Barker Street was painted by Jill Friedman. Titled "DREAM" with the message - dreaming of love and peace. It features faces singing and dreaming on the street side and the message Love to DREAM on the back. The sides feature hands reaching up to the sky. In addition to the many hearts on all four sides, the box contains the Spanish words SUEÑO (DREAM) on the front and AMOR ES PAZ (LOVE IS PEACE) on the front and back. HARTFORD appears on the sides.
