FRANKLIN - Now that some of the fire hydrants are prettier, it’s time to spruce up some utility boxes around Franklin. The Franklin Cultural District is joining in the nationwide utility box art movement and calling on Franklin artists of all backgrounds, established or emerging, to submit designs. Selected artists would receive a stipend between $500-$1000 depending on location, artistic development, labor and other factors. There are six utility boxes available for painting.
