Council approves two locations for new murals

The Nelson Mural Festival received some good news yesterday. City Council approved two locations for new murals including I.O.D.E. park along the upper wall and the west wall of the parkade which faces Stanley Street. Councillor Valerie Warmington feels they’ll be good spots for the new artworks.

Nelson and District Arts Council Executive Director, Sidney Black, says there’s been a lot of interest in the festival so far from artists.

Black says one piece will feature artwork from former Nelsonite Kelly Shpeley.

They have 6 murals confirmed, however final approval still needs to be given by the Cultural Development Committee.

Work on some of the murals will start in early June and the festival runs August 17-19.
