SHAUNAVON - Local artist Julia Dixon has created an eye-catching Instagram Wall painting at the Shaunavon Pool.

Partnered with the Grand Coteau Heritage and Cultural Centre and sponsored by Mike Greenlay of Leaf & Powder Enterprises, the project was established with the hope of generating some added interest for the town - and perhaps drawing some extra tourism visitors to the area - while also creating a colourful backdrop at one of the community's busiest summer locations.

“It’s another thing to get people out in the community, and hopefully when people come into town, they make a point of heading over there to check it out and share their pictures,” said Tammy Willman, program coordinator at the Grand Coteau Heritage and Cultural Centre.

An Instagram wall is a wall that features art or something interesting that would make a perfect backdrop for a photo shoot.
