 Public art in San Jose, CA: Reflection by Stefania Gueorguieva |
I found these pieces of public art during a walk through San Jose’s Plaza de Cesar Chavez in June last year. The first two paintings in this post were on utility boxes in the park.
These works of art are part of a project called Downtown Doors. I hear that these paintings are selections from art competitions held for students in the city.

What a great way to involve the students in the city and beautify the city as well. Have you been able to see these works of art as part of the Downtown Doors art project?
I’m wondering if they are still up. If you go that way and happen to see these painting on utility boxes, do let me know.
Also do share with this blog any other utility box artwork or murals you might have seen in the Capital of Silicon Valley.

Very interesting artwork and the artist have used objects other than wall that makes it even better. Silicon valley is not just tech heavy it seems to have a buzzing art scene too…
True. Its nice to see what must have gone on walls up on utility boxes.
I have to begin to really go look for more public art. There's a lot around here.
