Cusick, WA
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2022
Project Category: Public art installations
Description: Community spaces on the reservation lacked cultural expression, leaving the powwow grounds and walking routes without art. The tribe launched a utility box art project, installing eight vibrant wraps along high-traffic areas after soliciting designs from local artists. Many of the community's elders helped select artwork that reflects tribal heritage, strengthening intergenerational ties. The colorful additions have sparked pride and conversations about future murals and sculptures. "The new boxes look great... they add so much color to the walking path," said one resident.
