UP Art Studio has provided two proposed designs for each side of the underpass. The studio will work with its lead artist, Robin Munro, to implement the project and will include local Victoria mural artists who wish to participate. UP Art Studio’s mission is “Civic Pride through Civic Art,” and the studio has managed hundreds of public art projects around the United States. The City is partnering with UP Art Studio on the mural. “The Laurent Street underpass is an excellent opportunity for public art in terms of the location and the amount of space, which we intend to fully utilize in the design,” said Christy Youker, assistant director of Environmental Services and executive director of Keep Victoria Beautiful. The bicentennial will be a yearlong celebration featuring events, activities and initiatives that will honor Victoria’s past and set the stage for a bright future. The mural is one of the milestone projects that will align with Victoria’s bicentennial celebration in 2024. The City is moving forward with a mural project through Environmental Services’ Community Appearance Division that will decorate the Laurent Street underpass with colorful imagery that celebrates Victoria’s heritage. The City of Victoria is thinking big with its next beautification project. PHOTO #3: This concept rendering from UP Art Studio shows a proposed design for the Laurent Street underpass mural.
