Here’s a chance to explore murals and creative public works in the Capital Region
A GREAT WAY to explore the different
towns and cities in the Capital Region is by examining the culture on the walls of outdoor structures. Murals make a statement, whether it be highlighting a pivotal moment in the area’s history or simply brightening up the urban surroundings. You’ll find plenty of them around to even make a day of it by hopping into the car and exploring some real hidden gems around Edmonton, St. Albert, Spruce Grove and Stony Plain.

But you’ll find even more further west on 118 Avenue between 75th and 106th Streets, suitably called Art on the Avenue, where most of them are perfect for selfies and posting onto social media.
