Using Fort Colllins, Colorado as a model, the Rochester Downtown Alliance launched a "Color Downtown" initiative in the summer of 2012. Ten downtown utility boxes are scheduled to be painted by various artists, as well as building murals and skyway art.
Bobby Marines completed the first project, a group of 5 boxes near the Mayo Civic Center. It took him 14 hours to paint the building outlines and a week (12-14 hours a day) to add the primary colors and highlights. The art is protected with a graffiti proof clear coat.
Name of Artist: Bobby Marines
Title of the Art: Unknown
Year Decorated: 2012
