Residents living in the lower Division Street portion of Kingston will soon have a new piece of art to gaze over.
As part of new construction at 168 Division St., a new mural will be created by internationally renowned artist, Peru Dyer Jalea.
The city says it’s the first-ever public/private partnership which also involves Highpoint Developments.
“Peru’s mural brings vibrancy to the area of Princess and Division streets, providing viewers a break from their daily routine and inviting them into their own imagination,” says Danika Lochhead, manager, arts and sector development.
