The Colours of Nelson: a Mural Project is inspired by the love of public art and the desire to see more murals of diverse styles in the city of Nelson, through a process that invites the community to collaborate and taps into it’s rich creative voice and collective imagination. As the idea for this project grows, community organizations and artists are in dialogue about how public mural art could look in our town, and creating a shared vision while working together to bring the ideas into frutition.
On March 9th, diverse members of the community met for a Roundtable Discussion at the NDYC, which was open and free to the community, to brainstorm potential themes for a mural at Lakeside Park, on the abutment of the Big Orange Bridge.
Then, a work group comprised artists between the ages of 16 and 29 come together with the coordinators of the project, Amber Santos, Sérgio Santos, and Artist Mentors, Rhoneil Eurchuk, and Bryn Stevenson. The group met three times to work with themes drawn from the community’s input and the entire group made sketches around the themes, created a composition and talked about the different phases of the project. Each artist in the group brought their original ideas and style to the group.
The approval process opened up a dialogue that helped artists understand what City Hall needs to see as a design for a mural on a public wall while bringing insight into the artistic process, to the CityHall. All partnering organizations looked at the design and it was approved by everybody, including the Nelson and District Arts Council, Nelson City Police, Daybreak Rotary Club, Nelson and District Youth Centre, Nelson City Hall and the Department of Highways/Ministry of Transportation.
Production starts May 14th, 2012
