Title: City Saguaro at Sunset
Artist: Alisha McIntyre (7th Grade student at Coyote Hills Elementary)
Location: 87th and Lake Pleasant Parkway
Four intersections in Peoria recently became more colorful thanks to students from Coyote Hills, Frontier, Sunset Heights, and Zuni Hills Elementary Schools. City-owned utility boxes at 107th Avenue and Williams Road, 83rd Avenue and Lone Cactus Road, 87th Avenue and Lake Pleasant Parkway, as well as 95th Avenue and Deer Valley Road, recently were “wrapped” in designs by students from the neighboring schools. As part of the regular school curriculum, students in art classes competed for the opportunity to have their design wrapped on a utility box. The final selections for the four locations were done by the Peoria Youth Advisory Board. The board’s selection meeting, held after the COVID-19 closure of public facilities, was conducted via video conference.
Zuni Hills sixth grader, Kimber Powell, designed the wrap at 107th Avenue and Williams. Blake Sticht, a third grader from Frontier Elementary School, created the design at 83rd Avenue and Lone Cactus. The box at 95th Avenue and Deer Valley was designed by Braelyn Gonzalez, with attention to the bright orange sunsets known to be frequent in Peoria. Seventh grader Alisha McIntryre, from Coyote Hills Elementary School, won the competition for her work to be displayed at 87th Avenue and Lake Pleasant Parkway, easily the most trafficked location of the four locations.
