Greenville Power Box Art

Greenville Power Box Art The Greenville Arts Council and the City of Greenville have started the Greenville Power Box Art program. We plan to paint all 31power boxes in Greenville.

Natives of Greenville, MS recognize the intangible beauty of our city. Sometimes, though, our city's physical appearance doesn't accurately represent the arts, food, music, places, nature, and people we all know and love. To fix this, the Greenville Arts Council, in conjunction with the City of Greenville, has started the Greenville Power Box Art initiative. We plan to paint all 31 power boxes in

the city with art that represents Greenville and the Delta. This program was modeled after Community Visions Unlimited 's New Orleans Street Gallery project. We are asking for donations of any amount for the supplies needed to paint each box. If you or your business would like to sponsor an entire power box, we will attach a plaque to your box dedicating it to a loved one or advertising your business. To sponsor a box, please donate $250, and let us know what you would like on the plaque in the notes on your donation. If you have any questions or would like to donate through the mail or in person, please contact the Greenville Arts Council at (662) 332-2246, [email protected], or visit us at 323 S. Main Street, Greenville, MS, 38701. Please contact us to submit art, materials, or to volunteer to paint.
