Chester BID Mini Murals Trail

Chester BID has launched their mini-murals project by converting 17 BT cabinets into unique, creative pieces of inner-city artwork

BT cabinets have been transformed into colourful murals within the city centre. Usually painted dark green, BT Openreach gave special permission for the cabinets to be painted for the benefit of the city’s community.

Chester BID commissioned Cheshire artists to paint the murals, with each artist interpreting them in their own way, delivering an array of unique, colourful artworks to be enjoyed by passers-by.

The artists range from art school graduates to accomplished artists and Chester household names like Julie Colclough who owns a gallery on Watergate Street and Nikki Pinder who hid art around the city during covid lockdowns to brighten people’s days.
