City of Flagstaff, Arizona Public Service announce new public art initiative

FLAGSTAFF — The City of Flagstaff and Arizona Public Service (APS) have partnered on a pilot program to transform 10 utility cabinets into stunning works of art. To celebrate this collaboration, the City and APS hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on March 25 to unveil a newly wrapped cabinet at the entrance of Sinagua Middle School, featuring artwork by local artist Jo Rohrbacker.

Building on the City’s highly successful traffic signal cabinet program, this initiative continues to turn utilitarian cabinets into colorful, community-centered art. Now in its fifth year, the program has introduced a variety of designs to Flagstaff’s streetscapes, from imaginative scenes of northern Arizona’s flora and fauna to playful abstract compositions. The artistic wraps, made of durable vinyl, are designed to last up to five years while providing the added benefit of deterring graffiti and vandalism.
