Downtown Barrie Mural Project
On Wednesday evenings this summer, a group of young people have been working with artist Sean William Dawson to create a wall mural on the back wall of the Collier Street Parkade in downtown Barrie – an ideal location that is visible from Dunlop Street and the Barrie Waterfront. The project is a result of a partnership between the MacLarenArtCentre, the City of Barrie, and the Downtown BIA. The mural project is an outreach programme of the MacLaren, and supports the City of Barrie’s and the Downtown BIA’s commitment to building community pride and appeal. The mural is also a feature of the 2010 Lawnchair Luminata Waterfront Series, and visitors have been able to watch the mural come to life throughout July and August.
