Inspiring inclusion and a love of nature through art

Community mural project brings wild spaces downtown

Kay Gallivan is bridging the divide between downtown and nature, one brush stroke at a time.

Through a partnership with Leadership Victoria and Power To Be, she is transforming a wall on Johnson Street into a what she calls a love letter to Vancouver Island.

“Coming back here after being away for so long, I was swept away by how beautiful this place is,” she says. “Power To Be helps people celebrate that and I am excited to be able to paint a mural that captures some of the wonder of Vancouver Island.”
