MEDIA RELEASE
SPARC has released it’s very first book.
In collaboration with the City of South Pasadena, SPARC’s Art Box Project began in 2015 as SPARC commissioned professional artists to elevate the city’s utility boxes with vivid abstract designs and images reflecting the City’s iconic wild parrots, its history, and its place along iconic Route 66. The Art Box Poems features photographs of these strikingly transformed boxes, each commemorated in the evocative work of poet Rick Leddy, who was inspired by the project.
Stroll South Pasadena and visit all 30 boxes following the SPARC Art Box map or use the guide in The South Pasadenan.
