CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MOONLIGHT MURALS COLLECTIVE
Community Builds Community by Moonlight Murals Collective has been selected as the winning design for the Diversity and Inclusion Mural.
The Collective describe their mural concept as “a beautiful quilt made up of a variety of textiles with different designs and motifs.” The goal of the design is to “portray the idea of Canadians of all backgrounds, coming together in order to build and produce beauty together by way of sewing a quilt.” Once complete, the final design will be turned into a vinyl mural, treated with an anti-graffiti coating, and then applied to a wall in the downtown core.
