TJ Blair (Projects Manager, Graffiti Arts Programming): "This mural was the result of a live painting held at The Winnipeg Art
Gallery Penthouse. Two of our artists Don Ritson, and Nereo Eugenio
were commissioned to paint during a reception held by Interface Flor,
one of the largest modular carpet manufacturers in the world. Through
live painting, our artists created some unique visual stimulation for
Interface’s clients as they had an opportunity to review some of
Interface’s most recent product designs. Upon Completion Interface made
the decision to donate the completed work to Norquay Community Centre in
Winnipeg’s Point Douglas neighborhood. This was a great example of
corporate philanthropy in the community!"

of Norquay Community Center. Becky-Lynne Thiessen
painted with youth directly on the utility shed that oversees the newly
installed water park. This was GAP’s contribution to beautifying the
community center and surrounding park."
