Commissioned in 2012 by the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission, this project was presented to artists, graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, and other creative individuals residing within a 100 mile radius of Coeur d'Alene. The utility boxes, which keep lights flashing and communications running, are undiscovered canvases for individuals with the imagination to cover them with their artwork.
Public art can be a change agent for the community. It creates and enhances neighborhood and community identity. It enhances the visual landscape and character of the city. It turns ordinary spaces into community landmarks and promotes community dialogue and, most importantly, it is accessible to everyone.
Back in 2007, author Susan Nipp began work on a children's story about Coeur d'Alene. She created a fun, whimsical tale about a Moose named Mudgy and a Mouse named Millie. Story complete, Nipp put together a hardcover book called "Mudgy & Millie," illustrated by the talented Charles Reasoner and published by Eastern Washington University Press.
