Cape Coral, FL — The City of Cape Coral will host a Utility Box Art Unveiling Ceremony on Friday, April 15, 2022, at 10:00 AM, located at 1023 SE 47th Terrace, Cape Coral, FL 33904, in front of Dixie Roadhouse.

Local artist Amanda Zirzow has been selected as one of fifteen artists whose work will be featured as part of this public art initiative in Downtown Cape Coral. Her piece, Burrowing Owls in the Starry Night, will be on permanent display as part of the city’s effort to enhance public spaces through art.

Zirzow submitted the work in response to a call for artists in October. Having previously lived in Downtown Cape Coral, the opportunity held personal significance. The painting reflects a meaningful period in her life, created while raising her two children as a single mother. It symbolizes resilience, hope, and the pursuit of dreams.

Burrowing Owls in the Starry Night was first exhibited and sold during Zirzow’s debut solo exhibition at Arts for ACT Gallery in Downtown Fort Myers, marking an important milestone in her artistic career.

The upcoming unveiling celebrates both the artists and the role of public art in fostering community identity and engagement. Members of the public are invited to attend the ceremony.

For directions and additional information, please visit the City of Cape Coral website or attend the event in person.
