We are so proud of the young artists at Macdonald Consolidated School!
It was a joy to work alongside these incredible students to create the Mural of Memories and Honouring through Make Art, a wellness-based public art initiative presented by Sugar Skulls Atlantic Celebration Inc. as part of the Dia de los Mu***os, Atlantic Canada Festival 2026.
Inspired by Alebrijes and monarch butterflies, symbols of transformation, imagination, resilience, and hope each student created artwork to honour someone special in their life. Together, they transformed personal stories into a vibrant mural celebrating remembrance, healing, and community.
Projects like this shows the power of art to connect people, strengthen communities, and celebrate culture.
A heartfelt thank you to the students and staff at Macdonald Consolidated School for embracing this project with such enthusiasm.
We are also grateful to Arts Culture NB for its support and to the Anglophone South School District for its partnership in making this initiative possible.
If you are in Kingston Peninsula make sure to visit the mura!
