Watch art come to life! Anishinaabe artist @que_rock_ is transforming a blank wall into a masterpiece called Nbii Dodem (Water clans) by creating a graffiti mural, presented by @bbishopairport, in partnership with @nieuportaviation. The mural is divided into four panels, each telling a story of water as a healer, a teacher, a protector, and a source of life. Walk the trail from September 17 to October 3 and see @que_rock_ paint everyday from 10-4, weather depending.
