RICHMOND HILL – Local artists have begun work on various community mural projects as part of celebrations for Richmond Hill’s 150th anniversary. Earlier this year, the City put a call out for artists to capture the community’s past, present and future. Selected artists have started work on the following commissioned projects: 

• Community Mural: One artist is painting an outdoor, large mural on the Sports Centre Building (front/south-facing wall) at Richmond Green Sports Centre
• City Park Storage Bunkers: Six local artists are painting murals on concrete storage bunkers at Pine Farm Park, Town Park, Eyer Homestead Ropes Course, Bradstock Park, Morgan Boyle Park and David Hamilton Park
• Bell Box Community Murals: Six artists have been selected to paint murals on Bell Canada utility boxes throughout the City 

The City will be capturing images of the murals and introducing the artists involved over the coming weeks on its social media channels. The official unveiling will happen this fall during Culture Days.
