The once bland, gray boxes, that stand near busy intersections, are now displayed with Oklahoma themed art.

“The City would like to thank Ms. Baker and her students for their hard work and Pizza Hut for generously providing
lunch for the artists,” a city spokesperson said.
The City’s Historical Preservation Committee reviewed the drawings, volunteers primed the utility boxes while Pizza Hut donated lunch.
“I am hoping that we will be able to keep doing work in the city,” Baker said.
“The kids love it and I love getting art in the community.”
