25 Telephone Poles To Inspire a Barn Paint Party: Back at the Barn with Kentucky Performance Products

Outside the equestrian world, beautifying cities through urban street art has become a powerful movement, and one our favorite fads is turning a boring electrical pole on a streetcorner into a mini-masterpiece. Now just imagine you have 5 mini matching versions of one of these set up in an ascending oxer! Boring stripes are out, ladies and gents, and pole art is in. Have a little fun this offseason and turn your arena into a work of art using these beauties as inspiration!

I'm so glad to find out that besides #fernwood #victoriabc, there are other places where people #paintthepole. In fact, Opelika Alabama was inspired by this idea and #fernwoodnrg and created the #opelikaartline. Also check out #utilitypoleart #telephonepoleart #utilitypolelove, and you'll see that #painting or decorating the pole is a form of #streetart in different parts of the world. These poles could be #lightpole #hydropole or #utilitypole #telephonepole. Anyway they're a venue for #communityart. #igstreetart #instastreet #streetarteverywhere #explorevictoria #sharevi #vancouverisland #yyj

Throughout #santodomingo you can spot artwork drawn on poles such as this by professional artists. To do so, they have to get approved by the government, and it's always a "yes." Future plans? #republicadominicana #visualart #polemurals #colonialzone
