Nampa Idaho's burgeoning Art Scene!

4 new Nampa "Paint the Box" Utility Box Public Art (that's a mouthful) pieces were part of the Nampa First Friday Artwalk event last week. Each Artist applied their signature style to represent the city for this project, and the results are a fabulous addition to a growing city!

Melissa Chambers 

Melissa Chambers is a detail oriented sort of gal (it's epic, for sure), and her traffic box really stands out on this corner. Every little curio in the cabinet is ornately decorated and exploding with color! The original artwork is watercolor.

Make Over Complete!
"Open Invitation"

In honor of Nampa's rich cultural history, and the location of the box residing in the heart of downtown, (a historical gathering place, then and now) I created "Open Invitation" as a colorful celebration of the city. 

More "Paint the Box" projects are scheduled for Nampa; I am excited to see the personal touch the artists will bring to the streets through the unique applications of their visions. 

A notable worthy cause to help Nampa, Idaho grow culturally - 

The historic Pix Theatre was on the path to becoming reborn as a multi use artistic venue until the power of a recent storm (quite rudley) caved the roof in, damaging the interior and prior work.

Enjoy your day, and Thank You for supporting the Arts!
