Over the years, the Transcona BIZ has commissioned numerous heritage murals to pay homage to our founders and to recognize our strong history. In 2016, we developed and instituted a new plan for our murals and public art. The new plan takes into account different styles of art, locations, and themes than our original plan.
Old Plan (pre-2016) • “Traditional” themes • Focus on Transcona history • Preference for local artists • Use of large, prominent wall spaces
New Plan (2016-) • Contemporary, urban art • Visual, engaging subjects/themes • Local and international artists • Use of smaller walls in alleys and laneways
