Diversity Mural

This mural was a collaborative youth project, painted on the west side of the building once known as the Neighbourhood Space (Youth Centre) at 183 1 St W, Vanderhoof, BC. 

Students at the Youth Centre were asked what they would include in a mural about Vanderhoof. They responded that the mural must include Nechako River and Sinkut Mountain. Then youth were asked to submit their own drawings about Vanderhoof and Diversity. They were asked to think about what would make Vanderhoof a welcoming community.  Their drawings were combined in a working sketch, which was transferred to the wall. Youth first painted the aerial view of Nechako River, then Sinkut Mountain and the sun in the bright blue sky, and finally the circles with all of the student drawings.
