The 24 Hour Box Guerilla Art Makeover Project

  1. Text

    TICK! TOCK! ART! THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!

    Sun Media and 24 Hours News have indeed begun replacing and even cleaning some of their abandoned, dirty and disgusting 24 Hour newspaper boxes! But is it enough for us to call off the 24 Hour Guerilla Art Makeover? 

    Find out soon, as our closed doors talks resume……Friday!

    Uhm,….actually we haven’t really officially heard from them. But we have heard rumours that they are full aware of whats going on. They’re just playing hard to get.

    Box Tease!

  5. Photo My stroll takes me to the South West corner of Gerrard St and Greenwood.
Here in front of a medical office sits this sick bastard. I suggest painting a white doctor’s coat on it. Say “Ahhhhh”

  10. Photo Found sitting alone and dirty, rusty and smelly, fugly and broken, dusty and disheveled on the north east corner of Queen & Lisgar.
Since its located near a bunch of Queen West Bars, maybe Keith’s Brewery could sponsor it and it could be painted to look like a beer bottle.

PortraitToronto is a clean and beautiful city… that is littered with a few eyesores. Some of the most evident examples are the poorly maintained and abandoned 24 Hours newspaper boxes owned by Sun Media Group. Their once bright orange exteriors are now covered with street grime, graffiti, stickers and posters. This is more than a sign that Sun Media who owns these boxes does not care about its image but it is company that has little regard for the communities that they place them in. And we, the citizens of Toronto, are letting this happen. Well no more Sun Media! Toronto is taking back our streets, one dirty box at a time. As of August 24th, 2011, Sun Media has 24 days to clean up all of their 24 Hour boxes. If not the 24 Hour Box Guerilla Art Makeover Project will be launched! See bio for details.
