A series of Hoboken artists were chosen to beautify a series of 15 utility boxes along Washington Street as part of the “Art Box Mural Project,” creating works of art that represent themes of equality and inclusion. The participants, who live or work in the city, were chosen by the Hoboken Arts Advisory Committee, which was formed by Mayor Ravi Bhalla to help improve public spaces through artwork.
