For the fourth year in a row, the Belmont Art Association is teaming up with the town of Belmont to bring an artist’s eye to the otherwise dull green utility boxes used to control traffic lights around town. The public art project  is called  “Transforming Belmont.”

The Belmont Art Association invited local artists to submit designs. They chose four winners, who painted the boxes over the summer. Now the town has a total of 16 painted utility boxes. See if you can find them all!
