Electrical boxes can be sweet spots for stickers and tags, but the Tempe Public Art program and the Tempe Library have a creative idea. They are having local artists create art that will be painted on utility boxes in on Mill, Ash, & College St.

Jay Valentin's Utility Box Mural highlights the vibrant and beautiful sunsets that Arizona is known for, and that can be seen from Tempe. Valentin captures the desert landscape of mountains and cactus against the purple and blue hues of the sky right before the sun tucks behind the mountains. The moon and evening stars are just starting to appear in the darkening skies. The whimsical cartoon character that soars across the sky is reminiscent of some of Jay's early art influences from comic books. Using rich colors and playful natural landscapes, Jay Valentin hopes to capture the essence of the evening skies.
This box was originally painted in 2014 and titled "Arizona Sunsets", but was painted over in 2022 as seen today.
The project was funded through the City of Tempe Municipal Arts Fund, and Downtown Tempe Authority.
