Summer City Street mural revisited!


The mural Summer City Street has been displayed in both the library and most recently, the main floor lounge of Carnegie Centre, 401 Main Street Vancouver, for more than 30 years.
Recently, I removed, cleaned, reframed and repainted elements of this mixed media collage work. It will be re-inaugurated at 4:00 pm this Friday, Oct. 14th as a part of Carnegie renovation celebrations. Drop by and see it.
Along with forty other murals, Summer City Street is a part of the City of Vancouver's new website on murals in the downtown core. Supported through Celebrate Vancouver 125th, www.vancouvermurals.ca is the website to go to for background, photos and locations for all of these works. It included several walking tours as well, one of which I will lead for Heart of the City Festival on November 5th.
