The Spacing Wire posted back on October 7th, 2005 about the work Joe Pantalone’s office is doing with local graffiti artists and Bell utility boxes. Spacing contributor Liz Worth wrote this week in Eye Weekly about Ward 19’s newest reinvented boxes at the corner of Hallem and Shaw (above image before and after). The work has won Pantalone’s office a Clean and Beautiful City Award. They expect to have a total of 12 Bell utility boxes painted by Spring 2006, with hopes that the initiative will spread across the city. Something similar is already underway in Winnipeg.
