In Malden, over the summer eleven local artists transformed ordinary electrical switchboxes into vibrant works of art that are brightening up the streets of Malden.
You may have seen them as you walked past or drove by. They painted outdoors in the scorching heat and protected themselves and their artwork from raging thunderstorms. This was done all with the intent to contribute to the beautification of our city.
This summer eleven boxes were painted by: Gurleen Anand, Maria Cortes, Naomi Kahn, Abigail Kinsel, Grace Julian Murthy, Catalina Moreno, Karen Poon, Rachel Porter, Priyanka Manicka Vasagam, Rosene Wine and Eliza Wright with more to come in September.
Creative Malden and The City of Malden entered into a partnership to paint the electrical switchboxes. Together they are working to make Malden a more colorful and artistic place, one switchbox at a time!
