Renton has a new beautification and anti-graffiti project for downtown utility boxes and it comes by way of Renton High School 2015 graduate Jason Vo.

Vo’s artwork was selected from 13 designs submitted by students in his high school’s video production and visual communications program for a new “wrapping” process for public utility boxes. The project is funded by the Renton Community Marketing Campaign.

“I designed my wrap like this because I wanted to make it colorful in order to represent the diverse community that I am enveloped by at Renton High School,” said Vo in a press release. “The basic colors red, blue, and green: these represent a few of the multitude of races that I am surrounded by.”

The colors also represent Renton’s three comprehensive high schools, he said.

The title of Vo’s artwork is “Chroma.”

The Renton Community Marketing Campaign has funding for one more utility box to receive this treatment. The next box will likely be in the downtown corridor too. Organizers are looking for sponsors to fund two additional utility boxes, hopefully in the next two months.

Those interested in sponsoring a utility box can contact John Collum, City of Renton Community Development Project Manager, at 425-430-6589.
