ODE TO BELONGING
Lamenza Corporation, a social purpose real estate company based in Mississauga, and Mural Routes partnered to produce a mural at 4325 Harvester Road in Burlington in the summer 2021. The theme of the mural was imagining and building an equal, diverse and inclusive city.

For Bellbox Murals.
Persistence
Surprise
Diversity
“Like the branches of a tree, mingling with the roots of a mushroom, touched by the butterfly’s antenna and caressed by nature’s wind. Different elements and organisms co-existing to ensure life’s progression – we too exist in this organic beauty.”
SUPPORT Mural Routes
Give a Gift
Help us continue to provide opportunities for mural artists to build their capacity and to bring community-engaged mural art to communities across Canada.
Your contribution can go to:
Specific mural projects
These can be current or future projects.
Community programs and professional development
Such as attending our mural symposium or participating in mural making workshops.
Mural maintenance
Such as the beloved Rainbow Tunnel mural in Toronto.
Where it’s needed most!
Most of the time we need financial support to keep the lights on and pay salaries (this means being available for artists when they need help with their projects). If you don’t have a specific project in mind, please consider choosing this option when making your donation.
