InTransit BC, the operator of the Canada Line, is trying to create Canada’s largest piece of moving art. The Pixel Train is a great way to contribute to the community and spruce up everyone’s commute.

The innovative idea is to create a mosaic of the faces from those who’ve donated so that it covers an entire train. Depending on the size of the donation, the more money donated will allow a larger space for a portrait. Of course, those who are a bit shy or may wish to remain anonymous can select a drawing of a face done by a child instead of uploading a photograph.

Proceeds from the Pixel Train will go towards the YMCA, Arts Umbrella, Hope in Shadows and BC Children’s Hospital Foundation charities.

Visit the Pixel Train’s web site to place a donation and get your face out on the rails. Keep an eye out for Naruto…
