This mural is at 965 Granville Street on the south side of Vancouver's downtown peninsula.
Lots of us are banging pots and pans every evening at 7 p.m. in a show of appreciation for those on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But now, there's a new tribute in town painted by Vancouver artist Will Phillips.
Tonight, the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association announced that his new mural has been completed at 965 Granville Street celebrating health-care heroes.
It was done in conjunction with the Vancouver Mural Festival, which is aiming to encourage more than 40 of these temporary works of art around town.
"During this project the City of Vancouver COVID-19 social distancing rules will remain in effect and all artists will be following health and safety regulations," the Vancouver Mural Festival states on its website. "While we understand the excitement of live mural painting we strongly urge the public to stay home and enjoy the progress of the murals by following the hashtag #MakeArtWhileApart through our Instagram and Facebook."
