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 Preston Street was painted by Tyrone "Zero Snake" Motley. It tells a story in four panels.
Panel 1. An lady, wearing a tool belt, is running while carrying a power cord coiled around her right shoulder. The cord comes from inside the utility box.
Panel 2. A small brown dog is running with the power cord in its mouth.
Panel 3. A young man, in t-shire and short, is running while holding the plug end of the power cord above his head.
Panel 4. The reveal. They are all chasing a toaster which is jumping high off the ground.
