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.
