Public Art — Army & Navy Building

Between Hastings and Cordova in the alley is a terrific new mural, now underway, on the south side of the Army & Navy building. It continues the strong First Nations theme of other works in the area.  And is sponsored by Spacing Vancouver.
The artist team is Larissa Healy and Shadae Johnson.

Naa Tsmah – meaning ‘one heart one mind’ this mural is representative of the living in two worlds. The artist team will paint their stories of what it means to be people of the unceded Coast Salish lands while sharing the land with immigrants who have made this their home.
