Crayon Box - Hartford, CT - Artistically Decorated Utility Boxes on Waymarking.com

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 Franklin Avenue at the intersection of Chester Street was painted by Jeanne Manzelli, a graduate of the Maine College of Art and currently a instructor in drawing, sculpture, 3D design and color theory at Tunxis Community College.

On all four sides of the utility box she has depicted a realistic looking box of crayons.

On the front and north side of the box is stenciled:

REDYELLOW
BLUEGREEN
ORANGERED
and the south side of the box is stenciled:
ORANGE
BLUERE
DGREEN
but not always in the corresponding colors.

On a small panel on the back of the box she has included a cloudscape.
