Downtown Providence in Providence County, Rhode Island — The American Northeast (New England)
Arthur Cayo
The Avenue Concept
Arthur is a Brooklyn native who is currently based in Providence's Oineyville neighborhood. His art has typically been portrait focused, but in the wake of the pandemic and protest movement in 2020, he began working on public murals, using the heart stencil as a recurring motif. "The foundation for this piece is love, as it is with a lot of my works of late," he says. "Love for the city."
This utility box was painted as part of The Avenue Concept's Providence Utility Box program, a public art project intended to beautify our streets, enhance pedestrian wayfinding and provide opportunities for emerging local artists.
Erected by The Avenue Concept, with the support of Rhode Island Foundation.
