Four Graffiti artists collaborate and show their spirituality

Four acclaimed aerosol artists were brought together to express their interpretation of faith. For two weeks the artists came together and laboured away at the 30ft x 60ft wall which was donated by Metropolitan United Church (www.metunited.ca), located in one of downtown Toronto's most culturally diverse neighbourhoods. The mural was unveiled on September 19th and will be up indefinitely for many to see.

Paint Your Faith is a bold initiative by The United Church of Canada encouraging and inspiring people of all ages and backgrounds to explore and express faith in ways that go beyond words.

These were the artists:
