monday mural - Chemainus, BC

I managed to find and photograph twenty-eight of the thirty-eight murals but only two of Chemainus's ten sculptures during the two hours we tramped around this little Vancouver Island town on January 2nd. That means I need to go back!


Chemainus’s mural project began in 1982 when the town council decided to put some muscle into beautifying the downtown. Five murals were painted that summer, among them this “Thirty-three Meter Collage.” It shows three scenes - Stevedores at the Chemainus wharf, a boom man sorting logs and another load of logs into the Chemainus log dump. The artists for this mural were Frank Lewis and Nancy Lagana of Victoria B.C. and Paul Marcano of Saltspring Island, B.C. (Click on photo to enlarge)
