Middle School boxART! Competition

Fourteen artworks by Fremont middle school students (grades 6–8) were selected for inclusion in the City’s boxART! program. The pieces were combined under the theme “Utopian Vision” into a collage design on a vinyl wrap, transforming a traffic signal control box at the corner of Country Drive and Paseo Padre Parkway into a vibrant public art display. A celebration with the student artists was held on April 25, with remarks from Fremont Mayor Raj Salwan and City Councilmember Kathy Kimberlin.

Congratulations to our featured artists:
Meera Amarnath, Kavya Desai, Sahasra Gudipati, Yuvan Koduri, Akanksha Kulkarni, Abhi Arun Kumar, Bhuvi Kummara, Evan Liu, Mason Liu, Louisa Oswan, Simran Rao, Nivruth Rayasam, Mokshith Siddavaram, Riya Sinha.

A number of the student artworks also came to this project via the national PTA Reflections program, where each year, hundreds of thousands of students in pre-K through grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-created theme.

This project is funded by a Grant from the
Alameda County Arts Commission’s ARTSFUND.
