Public Art
[Download the children’s art trail map here.]
In 2022, a project began to paint green utilities boxes throughout Amersham with environmental-themed artwork, bringing art into the landscape, cultivating civic pride and working towards combating graffiti.
To date, 33 Virgin Media/O2 and Openreach communications boxes have been painted by local artists, volunteers, schools and community groups, with a further 2 due to be painted this year.
The boxes form part of the Children’s Art Trail. A map can be downloaded here. Hard copies are available at the red telephone box outside the Royal Mail Sorting Office, Hill Avenue, and the Memorial Gardens tea hut, Old Amersham.
