Street art for Snells Beach


Calling all artists – fibre company Chorus is looking for local talent to decorate one of its telecoms cabinets in Snells Beach.

The winning artist will be paid up to $1700 for their work, which can be any design so long as it is meaningful, and promotes diversity and inclusion.

There is already one decorated Chorus cabinet locally, a colourful bee and sunflower design that was painted on a box in February, in Matakana Road opposite Green Road.

The Chorus cabinet art initiative began in 2010 in a bid to reduce the amount of vandalism to telecoms cabinets.

It proved so successful that it has been extended throughout the country and around 170 murals are decorated each year.

Applications to paint the Snells box are open until August 31.
