Murals on Utility Boxes

In 2023, Fountain Hills partnered with the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance to commission eight murals on utility boxes along the Avenue of the Fountains and Verde River in the Downtown Fountain Hills streetscapes. The murals celebrate themes of Fountain Hills culture, biodiversity, and landscape. Four Arizona artists – Tato Caraveo, Laura Thurbon, Ignacio Garcia, and Jesse Perry were chosen from competitive applicants to design and implement the murals. In 2024, eight murals will be installed along the Avenue of the Fountains and Palisades.
