Sponsor a Utility Box Project

Do you want to help beautify our valley? You can, by sponsoring artwork for a L.A.D.O.T. Utility Box . We are currently offering schools, non-profits and companies the opportunity to sponsor the painting of a L.A.D.O.T. box in the West Valley.

The sponsor may submit their own design or theme and select one of our artists or use their own. All artwork must be approved by the Paint West Valley Board, the local City Council office and L.A.D.O.T.

Schools and Non-profits may brand their box with their name but the design must avoid being deemed an advertisement. For profit companies may not brand the box but may promote it on social media. The Community Benefit Foundation will also promote the sponsor and box.

Paint West Valley invites you to make a lasting impact in our community by sponsoring a custom utility box artwork.

Businesses, schools, nonprofits, clubs, and community stakeholders are all welcome to participate in this exciting beautification effort.

The Process

STEP 1:

Submit a sponsorship or a design to the Paint West Valley committee. We use local artists who can design a new box, paint their design or use your design.

STEP 2:

Pick a utility box in the West Valley that is available. No box location is guaranteed. We must wait for L.A. City to grant us the permission to commence painting.

STEP 3:

After the committee approves the design , we submit to Council District and L.A.D.O.T. Once the city approves our submission we can then precede to paint the box.

STEP 4:

Artists paint and our maintenance team then anti graffiti coat the finished artwork and we stencil the box Paint West Valley.

STEP 5:

We will support you for a ribbon cutting so the community can see the beatiful artwork.

STEP 6:

Have your box displayed in the community every day 🙂
