Art Outside the Box Dedication

The City of Coronado Cultural Arts Commission, in partnership with the Coronado Historical Association, invites the community to an Art Outside the Box dedication event on Thursday, August 7, at 5 pm at the Coronado Historical Association Lecture Hall.

Art Outside the Box: Take 2 is the second iteration of artful wraps on the Caltrans signal boxes along Orange Avenue.

This celebratory event marks the official unveiling of newly completed utility box artworks, designed by talented student artists from the Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA). These dynamic works reflect Coronado’s rich history and vibrant community spirit, transforming everyday infrastructure into meaningful public art.

As part of the project, student interns working with the Coronado Historical Association (CHA) selected historic black-and-white photographs from CHA’s extensive archive. CoSA’s graphic design students brought these moments to life, designing vibrant wrap templates that add a modern “pop of color” while honoring Coronado’s history.

The public is encouraged to attend and celebrate the students, mentors, and organizations who made this project possible.
