The utility box on the corner of San Benito and Fifth Streets now wears a fun mural honoring the biker history of Hollister. It's the third of five utility boxes that are part of a mural art project funded by the City of Hollister.
The murals are painted by local artists Joel Esqueda and Roland Resendiz. Each utility box sports a theme that represents the culture and history of Hollister and San Benito County. Click here to see two other utility box murals already completed in Downtown Hollister.

Hi Su-sieee!
ReplyDeleteThe colors in the mural you have photographed are very vibrant and the mural is very modern.
Thank you for stopping by my site.
Have a Wonderful Day!
Peace :)
Hello Chandra, I appreciate the visit back. It's a new mural, so we shall see how the colors hold up over time. :-)
DeleteWhat a wonderful punch of color. Many neighborhoods here have mini-murals on this type pf boxes. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteIt does brighten up that corner. I'll be curious to see if bikers will pose before it come the Hollister Rally on the 4th of July weekend.
DeleteLove it Susie, the streets around the world will never be the same again since street art became so popular :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I'm happy to see more street art in our town.

ReplyDeleteThe bikers in the mural don't look particularly threatening. Had to laugh at the movie trailer. I always thought the cap that Brando wore looked like something a cabbie would wear. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteI suppose back then, a cabbie's hat was tough. LOL
