Chorus cabinet art
Whether you paint for a living or as a hobby, we look for artists in our rohe (district) who’d like to showcase their work on Chorus' telecommunications cabinets (those big green or grey boxes you see sitting around next to our footpaths and roads).
Chorus runs this programme of cabinet art to support local artists and deter graffiti. Artists are paid for the materials and contribution for their time, and Council helps Chorus select a design for the cabinets.
Chorus Cabinet Art Initiative applications are now open for 2024! Get your submission in by 4pm, 1 October 2024.
This year, our theme is 'Our Stories, Our Place', and we're looking for busy vibrant designs that relate to the surrounding suburb and capture the life and stories of the Kāpiti Coast. The cabinets up for painting are:
- 25 Riverbank Road, Ōtaki (Cabinet OT/P)
- 151 Mazengarb Road, Paraparaumu (Cabinet PRM/BA)
- 1 Glen Road, Raumati (Cabinet RAM/H)
- 2 Victor Road, Raumati (Cabinet RAM/Y)
- 76 Ngārara Road, Waikanae (Cabinet WAE/J).
You can see Chorus and other utility cabinets painted in Kāpiti last year at Art cabinets.
