Public Art in Westlock
Utility Box Public Art Project
Bring Westlock's story to life - one utility box at a time.
The Town of Westlock is transforming everyday infrastructure into vibrant public art. We recently invited Alberta-based artists to submit original designs for our Utility Box Public Art Project and are currently reviewing the submissions
Selected designs will be turned into eye-catching vinyl wraps and installed on utility boxes across the community—adding colour, storytelling, and local pride to our streetscapes.
What We're Creating
We’re seeking to use original artwork that will revitalize existing infrastructure and that:
-
Celebrates Westlock’s people, places, and stories
-
Highlights our agricultural roots, community spirit, and local heritage
-
Adds vibrancy and creativity to public spaces
