Local artist Mike Hepher working on All Kinds of Beauty . 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 .
Newly installed on the sidewall of Beanpod at the corner of 2nd Avenue
& 7th Street , All Kinds of Beauty is a bright and welcoming new mural , also by Michael Hepher . The piece was designed to reflect the hopes , dreams , and aspirations of the community . The piece highlights many of the aspects of Fernie life , from industry and activity to our treasured Elk River and surrounding mountains . Share your selfies with # ferniemuralproject .
