Mural 150

Seven Manitoba communities will receive outdoor murals in celebration of Manitoba’s history, culture, people and
beauty through Mural 150, presented by CWB National Leasing and in partnership with Wall-to-Wall Mural & Culture
Festival’s Rural Mural Tour.

Synonym Art Consultation, one of the organizers of Wall-to-Wall,
will connect each of the seven communities with contemporary
Manitoba-based artists who will work with that community to
share their unique story. The seven communities that will receive a
contemporary mural are:

• Falcon Lake • Flin Flon • Gimli • Norway House First Nation

• Pilot Mound • Roseau River First Nation • The Pas
Each piece will tell the story of the community in which it resides,
and will inspire art, storytelling, and pride of place for all who see
and visit the murals.

Stay tuned for the mural reveals over the summer - especially the
one in Westman’s own Pilot Mound!
