Monica Magtoto's utility boxes: a healing love for San Francisco
Briefly

Monica Magtoto showcases her art on utility boxes along Guerrero Street in San Francisco's Mission District, creating a vibrant representation of healing. Selected for the 'Paint the City' project, she painted ten boxes with vibrant designs, uniting her work with a theme of recovery. Each box, adorned with symbols like hearts and moons, represents her love for the city and its resilience. The project involves 24 artists transforming 241 utility boxes across the city, contributing to community joy and visual enhancement in urban spaces.
Our city's been through a lot, and for me, this set of paintings was a little bit of a love letter - like, 'If I could heal the spirit of the city, this is where I would start.'
You get people who are crossing through the neighborhood to go more to the Mission side... So, for me, it's the perfect location.
