After driving past this piece of "street art" on the way to work every day since it was installed, i reckoned it needed a wider (geo-caching) audience.
The broadband cabinets that have sprung up around the country have proven highly susceptible to graffiti, and are often re-targeted soon after the graffiti is cleaned off. The broadband company, in conjunction with local councils, runs a programme of beutifying these boxes, with the hope this will discourage graffiti, and giving the local community a piece of artwork they can enjoy. Many of these cabinets in Hutt City are receiving brightly coloured artworks carried out by local artisits. Each cabinet is painted in a different theme, often in consultation with the local residents. The company prioritise those cabinets that are most frequently hit with graffiti.
I considered adding a photo to the cache description, but thought it better to let cache-finders experience the art as they come upon it. {I may add a photo at a later date}.
The artists for this particular work are Kane "Scream" Smith (a former graffiti artist), Emily Roberts & Lydia Roberts. Smith is quoted as saying "We went for a children's story-book kind of style instead of the more photo-realistic type styles we paint a lot of the time". The painting itself is done with aerosols and test pots, and then coated with a hard-wearing anti-graffiti sealant. This particular broadband box has recently been badly graffiti-ed, and was rapidly and easily cleaned up by the Council's graffiti removal contractors.
The cache itself can be quite visible if not rehidden appropriately. Please replace exactly as you found it. Use stealth and any required covertness/deception to avoid bringing this cache to the attention of muggles. A writing implement will also be necessary!
