On September 23, 2018 residents of Port Coquitlam came together to help artist Aurelia Bizouard paint a 38-foot public art mural on the city’s Public Works shed in Lions Park. This mural was completed using a Live Light Painting method, which involves drawing a design on a glass panel and projecting it onto the wall. The public then added their own designs to the projected image. The mural celebrates Port Coquitlam’s rivers, trails and natural environment while connecting people to their community, nature and creative side.
