Call for Artists – 2022 Power Box Art

The Colfax Ave Business Improvement District (BID) is seeking artists to showcase their work to thousands of people that pass our electrical power boxes each day throughout the Colfax corridor. 

Last year, our Colfax Comeback pieces captured the feelings that come with being able to gather in person again. This year’s theme is Counterculture. Counterculture is defined as “a way of life and set of attitudes opposed to or at variance with the prevailing social norm.”

We want to celebrate the ideas, people, places, and movements that challenge the status quo and have a connection to Colfax Avenue. Think the Beat Generation (Jack Kerouac would’ve turned 100 this year), the Civil Rights Movement, the fights for LGBTQ, disability, and women’s rights, the Black Lives Matter movement, the punk scene, the Hippie Movement, etc.
