Each Riverbox will include an artist-designed stamp and logbook that supports site-based exploration. DAC will develop publicly accessible location clues and interpretive materials via the RiverboxesTM passport to support community engagement, exploration, and repeat visitation.
Since 2007, RiverboxesTM has grown into a one-of-a-kind public art program located across parks in Dublin, Ohio. Each Riverbox is a unique artist-designed vessel containing an original stamp and logbook, encouraging exploration of public space through play, discovery, and storytelling. This beloved public art program is inspired by letterboxing and geocaching. The 20th anniversary RiverboxesTM may respond to themes of connection, movement, landscape, and civic identity, reflecting Dublin’s evolving downtown and park systems. Dublin Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging the community, cultivating creativity, and fostering lifelong learning through the arts.
RiverboxesTM will be installed across multiple park and civic sites selected in coordination with the City of Dublin Parks & Recreation Department. The RiverboxesTM will engage participants of all ages with public art, letterboxing and geocaching while encouraging creative, repeat engagement with public space. The completed artworks will increase engagement with Dublin parks and civic spaces through interactive, site-based public art experiences.
Each selected artist will receive a $5,000 all-inclusive commission. Payment will be issued in two installments: upon contract execution and upon installation.
