Fresno Box Art Program
The City of Fresno is seeking qualified artists/muralists to create murals that will be installed on traffic utility cabinets located along the Shaw Avenue Corridor between First Street and Chestnut Avenue and along the Cedar Avenue Corridor between Bullard and Gettysburg.
The theme for these traffic boxes is “Bulldog Spirit” reflecting the history and influence that Fresno State, its students, athletes, programs, and alumni have had in the Central Valley, with an emphasis on what makes Fresno State a special place. The artwork should celebrate the unique qualities and purpose of the university in specific and easily identifiable imagery.
Submissions should incorporate visual elements, patterns, or imagery that represent that corridor’s theme.
There is no entry fee to submit your artwork. Artists must submit the following in their application: letter of interest, current resume, prior work portfolio, and conceptual rendering(s).
The deadline to submit is May 22, 2026 at 5 p.m. Submit your artwork and materials to publicart@fresno.gov
