Fernie Arts and Culture Guide Winter 2022 | Page 13

Tyra Collombin art is intended to reflect the impact the fire had on Fernie ’ s architecture and the City ordinance that followed , directing all future construction to be of fireproof material . This artwork is a testament to the tenacity of the people of Fernie and a reflection of the town that fell but was not fallen .
On the corner of 2nd Ave & 7th St , All Kinds of Beauty is a bright and welcoming mural , also by Michael Hepher . The piece was designed to reflect the hopes , dreams and aspirations of the community and highlights many aspects of Fernie life . Share your selfies with # ferniemuralproject .
