BMO National Mural Series
The BMO National Mural Series is a program launched by BMO in partnership with STEPS, connecting local artists to BMO branches across Canada to beautify spaces and foster strong community relationships through the power of public art.
In 2021, BMO collaborated with STEPS and artist Gosia Komorski in creating a mural at the BMO Yonge and Roselawn branch in Toronto’s bustling Midtown neighbourhood. This marked the start of the BMO National Mural Series, a program that brings together local artists and BMO branches across what is currently Canada to create unique works of art. The aim is to beautify and activate spaces through the power of public art following BMO’s Purpose to Boldly Grow the Good in Business and in Life, and is dedicated to the building, investing and supporting of the communities they are a part of.
This initiative includes:
- 30+ one-of-a-kind activations at BMO branches across Canada (and growing!)
- Paid opportunities for local artists and designers across Canada
- Fostering positive recognition and community engagement through public art
Through STEPS’ expertise in public art management and customized approach in one-of-a-kind installations to foster inclusive communities, these activations are tied together by themes of community, family and diversity.
Follow us @STEPSPublicArt and #BMONationalMuralSeries for the latest mural reveals and to meet the talented artists involved!
