The district contract Leopold to Leopold ran from 2006 until December 2009. Within the contract, a large fresco was made in the Bockstael metro station at the entrance along the Rue des Artistes [plan].

Fresco of local residents and metro passengers

The fresco is 40 m² big. Approximately 300 people, local residents and users of the station, contributed to the work during 5 animation days in the spring of 2009. The coordination was in the hands of Bravvo. The creative workshops were led by various artists: Blaise Patrix, Pélie Angelopoulou and Emma Rouyer. Alfonso Ottone and the groups O'Lione Band de Naples, Ad el Riwan and Sanacor participated in the project as well. The works were later photographed and integrated in a collective work of art. The fresco was named Metrocool.

The entire project should enhance the pleasure at and the image of the station.
