In 2017, Ithaca's Community Arts Partnership continued the painted utility box program started in 2012. Anna Adler, Marsha Acerra, and the children of the Ithaca Youth Bureau were chosen to decorate this utility box with a pictorial map of Ithaca as seen through the eyes of a child.
According to the artists:
"We envision painting a collective city map generated from the kids and mentors we work with -- marking their most favorite landmarks and characters around town -- places they have enjoyed together, which represent the unique and diverse landscape of Ithaca.
The mural will be executed by Marsha Acerra, Anna Adler (Community Outreach Specialist, BBBS and artist) with input and assistance from the community we serve, including Bigs and Littles. This work will energize the imaginations of passerbys, allowing people to see the city from the perspective of local youth, and reimagine what it means for all of us -- our sense of home, belonging, and place.”
