Bell Box Murals Project
Since 2009 artists from the Bell Boxes Murals Project have painted 530 murals on Bell Canada outdoor utility boxes in over 40 communities throughout Toronto, Southern Ontario and Quebec.
The Bell Box Murals Project is a program of Community Matters Toronto, a Toronto-based community nonprofit located in the St James Town neighbourhood of Ward 13, and benefits all members of the community
Each summer Bell box murals are painted in sets of eight boxes in separate communities. Six to eight projects are done each year. Requests are received throughout the year and we meet with each community to discuss possible projects for the following year. In December a recommended list of communities and projects is submitted to Bell Canada for approval.
As part of the wider Ward 13 community, we want you to involve your local artists and get them excited and interested!
Murals painting will begin in the week of August 26, 2023.
Mural artist identity will not be shared to protect artists' personal information. Please reach out to Community Matters Toronto for additional information.
