Portraits From Our Past (2008)

Step up to a mural that turns a sidewalk into a living history lesson. Manitoba artist Sarah Collard translated archival photographs of the Village of Islington into four vivid vignettes — harvest scenes, community portraits, and glimpses of daily life from another era. It's a surprisingly moving stop on an evening stroll, the kind of public art that rewards a slow look and sparks real conversation about the neighbourhood you thought you knew. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
