The project transformed a highly visible downtown utility box into a public art piece inspired by the values that unite Brookings' nonprofit community: hope, compassion, impact, service, resilience, and connection. The installation serves as a tribute to the nonprofits, volunteers, donors, and community members who work every day to strengthen Brookings and Brookings County. The Brookings Council of Nonprofits issued a call for proposals earlier this year, inviting artists to interpret these themes through original artwork designed specifically for the utility box installation. Nancy Rasmussen was selected from a pool of talented artists and created four paintings named The Good Stuff, On Our Way, Love Grows Here, and Lifting Love. These pieces were then adapted into a vinyl wrap and installed at one of the busiest intersections in Downtown Brookings, where it will be viewed by thousands of residents and visitors each day.
