A third round of utility box art along Campbell city streets is in the works.

The Art Outside the Box program will launch its third phase next year. Organizers are asking for donations and putting out the call to artists to pitch box designs.

To date, artists have decorated 20 boxes near the downtown and further down Winchester Boulevard and Hamilton Avenue corridors.

“We’ve gotten very positive feedback from people who have seen the boxes in the city,” said Alan Zisser, a member of the city’s civic improvement commission, which sponsors the program.

The first batch of boxes was painted last year on East Campbell Avenue and Civic Center Drive and near the Pruneyard Shopping Center. An additional nine boxes were completed this year along Hamilton Avenue, Winchester Boulevard and South Bascom Avenue.

There are also painted boxes near the Hamilton Avenue light rail station staircase, an intersection at Union Avenue and Campisi Way, and by San Tomas Aquino Road.

During the last two phases, community volunteers cleaned and prepped the boxes in the spring before artists turned the boxes into a canvas in the summer, according to Zisser.

Zisser said the commission’s goal is to have eight more boxes decorated next year before the summer heat kicks in. Locations are chosen from a public works department list of available utility boxes, he added.

The next round will be located at West Hamilton Avenue near Darryl Drive and Eden Avenue, East Hamilton Avenue near Third Street and Harrison Avenue, Winchester Boulevard by Sunnyoaks and Budd avenues, and Campbell Avenue near Fulton and Bascom avenues.

“We’re going further into the neighborhoods,” Zisser said. “By the time this next phase is completed, we’ll have hit the major corridors in the city.”

Funding for the program comes from donations and sponsors. Zisser said the program aims to raise $5,000 for honorariums and other out-of-pocket costs. At press time, nearly $400 had been raised.

The Home Depot has also donated supplies to prep the boxes before they are painted. Artists receive an honorarium for their work based on the size and shape of their designated box.

A few of the completed boxes honor the city’s agrarian history, while others depict flowers, video games and landscapes. Concepts and ideas that reflect the city’s history or culture are encouraged but not required.

Applications and conceptual artwork can be submitted by residents 18 and older. Artwork cannot contain written materials, political statements, corporate branding or religious affiliation.
