Legacy in Art Project
Pouce Coupe elementary school Grade 6 and 7 class painted two murals to represent Pouce Coupe for the Legacy Art Project. The Project has been established to be an annual year end collaboration between the Elementary School, Pouce Coupe Mayor and Council and a local inspirational artist to produce the murals. Artwork was created in class the guidance of the teachers, Mr. Hecker and Mrs. Nagpal. Wayne Lariviere, the SD59 artist in residence, and Pouce Coupe Elementary alumni was the mentor and instructor for the painting. These breathtaking art murals are truly masterpieces from a real alliance of all parties involved. The two completed works will be installed on the boards of the Pouce Coupe Ice Rink in McNabb Park where residents and visitors can enjoy.
This project would not have been successful without the wonderful contributions of local businesses and the Pouce Coupe community. Thank you the following:
- Dawson Co-op for the donation of all the paint to create beautiful murals.
