Chorus cabinet art

As part of the Chorus' telecommunications cabinets competition, we invited submissions from artists in our rohe (district) to showcase their work on phone 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.

This year, our community boards chose designs to fit in with our theme 'Our Stories, Our Place', looking for busy vibrant designs that related to the surrounding suburb and captured the life and stories of the Kāpiti Coast. The artists and designs selected were:

• Ruth Mitchener, Milk Delivery
• Bodhi Vincent, Share the Love
• Paraparaumu Kindergarten, Our People
• Ruth Mitchener, Swimming Dogs
• Christina Nicol (Ngai Tahu, Ngāti Mamoe), Footprint.
