Public Art
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, 30 Virgin Media/O2 and Openreach communications boxes have been painted by local artists, volunteers, schools and community groups, with a further 7 approved for painting 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.
