Collaborating with local artists to create murals that tell a story encourages tourists and city residents to get out into the sunshine and enjoy some art. These murals can showcase important events, cultural traditions, and the diverse history of people that make up the neighbourhood, fostering a sense of pride and belonging among residents.

Large scale building murals don’t have to be Olympic sized, like Eduardo Kobra‘s portrait mural art for the 2016 Olympics. They can be a few stories high, or cover the expanse of a large bare wall.
