The Vancouver Mural Festival is helping bring new life to boarded up storefronts across downtown Vancouver during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The festival says 40 artists have been enlisted to create murals as part of the #MakeArtWhileApart initiative.
Almost one month ago, we chronicled the empty streets of downtown Vancouver as non-essential businesses closed and storefronts were boarded up for security. One month later, the scene is looking less apocalyptic, thanks to local artists.
