âWherever I go, I love to see public art because it shows what the community embraces,â said artist Sue Conrad. âArt adds beauty and color to the landscape. Itâs great to see local artists thriving.â
Conrad is one of 13 artists chosen to create designs for covers wrapping downtown Napa utility boxes. The public art project is sponsored by downtown property owners through the Property Based Improvement District (PBID) and the City of Napa.

Each of the utility box artwork designs is unique. Some seem to tell a story, others are landscapes or flowers, still others are abstract motifs. All are created by local artists.
