Description

Colour photograph of the mural "Lift Bridges" by Greg Garand, c. 1991.

Painted in 1988 by Greg Garand of Toronto, ON, at 31 West Main Street, 64' X 15'.

The mural depicts a ship passing through the city at dusk, after the city has calmed from the day. Ships used to go through heart of downtown Welland before the Welland Canal By-Pass was completed in 1973.

The mural was removed by the property owner at some point due to water issues with the wall it adorned.

Picture of mural and information from the book "A Festival of Canadian Art: Welland's Giant Outdoor Murals" by Jerry Gibb.
