An electrical box, at the corner of Jurupa Ave. and Riverside Ave. (5790 Riverside Ave, Riverside, CA), has recently been painted in orange and yellow with pictures of branches of leaves, palm trees and the sun. The artist was Katya Orovie @orlovie, a local muralist and painter.
The history of the De Anza Theater with lots of photos is described on a nearby electrical box (4225 Market St, Riverside, CA). The building now houses Clark's Nutrition, a Natural Foods Market. It joins a number of similar historical descriptions on other boxes downtown. The designer and author are unknown.

A new floral painted electrical box has recently appeared at the intersection of Magnolia and Jurupa Avenues (about 5958 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA). A supplemental box has been attached to one of the sides of the original box which covers the artwork on that side and unfortunately also blocks the artists name, so the artist is no longer identifiable.

A second electrical box to the north of the old Stalder Building (6th Street and Market) in downtown Riverside has been wrapped with a vinyl coating with photos, artwork, and a description of the history of the building. It is part of the newly identified Arts and Culture District. The artist and authors are unknown.

The electrical box in front of White Park (3901 Market St, Riverside, CA) in downtown Riverside has been wrapped with a vinyl coating providing a brief history of the park combined with photos and artwork. It is part of the newly identified Arts and Culture District. The artist and authors are unknown. One side of the box is near the fence and was difficult to photograph and so the three sections on that side are show separately at the end. I am sad to say that essentially all of the cacti described on the box are no longer in the park. I was told that the last grouping was removed a month or two ago. Apparently one fell over on a visitor. I am sure that that wasn't pleasant.
