This project will build on the success of the 2014 Nest Community Mural Project with another large-scale outdoor mural, with the intention of enhancing leadership skills in individuals, especially those who participated in the last project. This includes hiring and training local community leaders to manage, plan, co-design, document, and of course paint! Building on the theme “resilience”, lead artists Jenny Hawkinson and Cate Wikelund will work to find points of healing and resilience within the diversity of the neighbourhood in three community design workshops. The identified mural site is an exterior wall located at 575 East Cordova Street, to be confirmed but discussions with the owners are underway. The collaborative painting will take place in the summer of 2017 with an all-day block party to celebrate the finished mural in September. Developments from the last grant received include enhanced documentation including a time-lapse video of the whole painting process.
