Downtown Lens is an ephemeral mural project, and a chance for artists and business owners to work together- adding to the vibrancy of our downtown core during Arts Days.

Watch artists at work from September 5-7 as artists paint a temporary mural on the window of their partner business. Beyond traditional window decoration, these paintings give artists a chance to create a large art piece in the downtown core and gain experience in public art creation. Pick up a map from AAC Works to help navigate your mural journey or go exploring downtown on your own! Murals will remain up until September 21, 2024.

Be sure to take a selfie and tag #YQLArts #ArtsDaysYQL #CultureDays
