Art Spark Goes to School

You are invited to EPB's 2026 ArtSpark celebration to recognize the Hamilton County Schools students chosen for our 8th annual ArtSpark Goes to School challenge to display student artwork on EPB utility boxes.

Every school year, Hamilton County Schools students apply to have their artwork displayed on utility box artwork through the EPB ArtSpark Goes to School program. As the students learn about electricity through a curriculum designed by UTC’s Art-Based Curriculum, they submit designs in response to the theme, "What energizes you?" The winning submissions are printed on vinyl wraps and used to transform traditional utility boxes into creative masterpieces to help beautify our city and showcase remarkable student talent. Find winning artwork using this interactive map.

WHEN: April 15 at 5:30 p.m.

WHERE: Lobby of EPB’s main office (10 W. MLK Blvd, Chattanooga, TN)
