Alyssa Longchamps, 26, is usually tattooing humans with her unique style of black and white art but for the last couple of weeks she has been spray painting a giant 14′ x 38′ squid on the outside wall of the Merivale Fish and Seafood Grill on Merivale Road. A friend of the owners, she was asked if she could come up with a design that would celebrate the seafood nature of the business and after some thought, she sketched up the squid. She took a week off from tattooing at her private studio, “The Static Lab”, and battled the brutal heat and thunderstorms and recently finished the project. “It was a lot of fun, I’m pretty excited about it. I don’t know if I’ll do more (because) it’s been pretty time consuming, but I definitely enjoyed it,” she said.

A series of murals were made to ask questions about our experience: Emily Rose Michaud’s mural was installed at Sainte-Cécile de Masham’s Elementary School. The mural provoked reflection on a series of questions to which the public was invited to respond. Two science and health professionals – a data scientist and a health advisor on COVID – developed the questions. A QR code displayed on the murals then directed the public to a web platform with the questions to solicit answers.

A week spent with the art class of Royal Crown School inspiring some amazing students to create change, and inspire others. The three people are to represent the past (Harriet Tubman), the present (Obama) and the future (RCS Student’s), with a mirror in the center to show that it doesn’t take someone historic or famous to create change. Look in the mirror, YOU are the future of the black community!
