Andrea Curtis, executive director of the festival, says there’s a lot new about this year’s event after the festival was constrained by COVID-19 health measures for the past two years
This week, more than 30 new murals will be unveiled in eight neighbourhoods across Vancouver as part of the annual Mural Festival.
Andrea Curtis, executive director of the festival, said there’s a lot new about this year’s event after the festival was constrained by COVID-19 health measures for the past two years. But the focal point, she added, is the City Centre Motel serving as the hub this year, with the former 75 motel rooms being converted into low-cost artist studios.It really forced us to think about things in a new way, like everybody else. It forced us to pivot and try new things.
Most of the artists that we work with have never done mural work before, usually around 80 per cent of them. And so we offer them all of the support and training that they need in order to scale their work.
