West Broadway is known as a cultural hub for creative people, with a reputation for contemporary public art. With more than 38 murals within 3km, we have a dense urban art gallery for you to explore.
By integrating artwork into public settings, we enrich people’s daily lives while giving local artists a voice and an opportunity to share their story. Murals are proven to reduce incidences of graffiti, while creating a positive environment with a greater sense of pride and community spirit.
The projects below were partnerships between the West Broadway BIZ and various organizations. Thank you to our business owners, Synonym Art Consultation, Art City, and Take Pride Winnipeg for working with the BIZ to bring more public art to our area.
