This past fall, a diverse range of artists who live or work in Hoboken, NJ converted 15 utility boxes into alluring artworks. The charming image pictured above, The Hoboken Tree, featuring birds representing varied nationalities that have found a home in Hoboken, was painted by local painter, designer and illustrator Alison Josephs. Several more images — all reflecting the notion of “equality and inclusion” — follow:
Hoboken resident, Greg Brehm, Home Sweet Hoboken
South India-native, self-taught artist Sayeed A. Syed, Clear Skies
Colombia-native, Hoboken-based multi-media artist Anita Torres Milena, Universal Lotus
Hoboken-based artist Chesleigh Meade, Venuses of Hoboken
West Coast-bred, Hoboken-based style master Matthew Dean, Hoboken United
Russia-native, Hoboken-based multi-media artist Raisa Nosova, Silver Mask
All of these artworks and more can be found along Washington Street — from 1st to 14th — a short walk from the PATH train’s Hoboken stop. The “Art Box Mural Project” marks the first initiative of The Hoboken Arts Advisory Committee, “a group of local citizens–artists, merchants, organizational leaders and public officials–working to bring innovative, interesting and beautiful public art to the City of Hoboken.”
