ART AND SWAPS /// Generate spontaneous encounters : locals and passers-by, or colleagues sharing a building, can put any object into the box or take anything they want from it.

Local artists paint the boxes, turning them into recognisable and much-loved items of street art. To see how we can help you install a box (or several!) visit our official site www.hclbox.org.
