At the corner of Roosevelt Row and 7th Street, artists have been working non-stop to create beautiful masterpieces that will help a new electric substation blend in with the artsy environment.
To keep the arts and culture alive, eight murals are being produced by 10 artists for a new APS substation in downtown Phoenix.Downtown Phoenix has underdone a lot of change over the past few decades and is expected to see even more expansion in the years ahead.
APS is building a new electric substation here and is covering it in murals to help it blend in with the artsy environment. There are eight murals up to 28 feet tall and totaling more than 5,700 square feet. "Power lines and substations aren’t exactly popular sometimes, and so we really worked closely with the community, a lot of stakeholder meetings, a lot of open house events where we could engage the community in a way that we could get their feedback," said Lee.
