Pittsburgh City Paper launches program to turn old newspaper distribution boxes into public art

Pittsburgh City Paper has launched its “Adopt a Box” program, converting former newspaper distribution boxes into public art pieces across local neighborhoods. Many of the boxes had been discarded after the publication temporarily suspended operations at the start of the year. Under the new initiative, decorated boxes are being reinstalled in public areas, including one located at the corner of Forbes and Murray Avenues in Squirrel Hill.
