Splat Box

Splat Box is a community-driven sculptural mural that brings together color, collaboration, and creativity in an interactive public art experience. Commissioned as a long-term temporary installation for Boxyard RTP, this piece was shaped by the hands of visitors who participated in its creation. Through a collage-style mural process, layers of abstract shapes in vibrant hues—drawn from Boxyard and RTP Hub’s branding—build a dynamic, joyful reflection of the surrounding community.

The project’s name, Splat Box, was selected through a community naming competition, with the winning title suggested by a young visitor. This playful, energetic name mirrors the essence of the piece: a celebration of spontaneous creativity and collective expression. At its core, Splat Box embodies the belief that public art should be participatory, accessible, and a catalyst for connection.
