A new mural at Dollarama has been completed.
Last week Indigenous artist Nathan Meguinis and his son Josiah completed the mural, using primarily spray paints, on the Dollarama, facing 2nd Street West.
The mural was an initiative by the DinoArts Association looking to refresh the mural on the building. They put a call out asking for proposals from Indigenous Artists. Meguinis was selected.
He calls the work Waiting for the Signal. It depicts one of the ways Tsuut’ina carried out its buffalo hunt, using corrals. It is sent in the backdrop of vibrant skies, the river and hoodoos.
A lifelong artist, Meguinis said he took up using spray paint as a medium during COVID and has been practicing his techniques. It also encompasses some stencil work and traditional brushwork.
