LINC Centre displays new exterior mural created by youth artists

A new and vibrant look is now on display at the LINC Youth Centre & Indoor Skatepark. 

Five youth artists, under the mentorship of muralist Emily Thiessen, created a new three-wall artwork for the building, celebrating inclusion and youth culture. 

Courtenay Mayor Bob Wells said the project created something beautiful for the building, while building skills and a sense of ownership for the youth involved. 

“It reflects the diversity of Courtenay’s youth and shines a spotlight on the LINC as an inclusive space where youth can connect, create, and belong.” 

The artists have been engaged in every step of the project since January including consulting with peers, developing concepts and bringing those ideas to life. 

The mural was unveiled at the end of July and is now a permanent feature outside the building.
