Smither's Self-Guided Art Mural & History Walks

This fun, vibrant and interpretive mural was designed in 2020 to depict a comprehensive ‘snapshot’ of life in the Bulkley Valley. The beauty of this mural is in its multidimensionality. The interpretations described here include facts and stories of the town for your entertainment and information. Please keep in mind that each icon represents something different to everyone, whether you have lived in Smithers your whole life, or have just begun your time here. Know that YOUR interpretation is as much a part of the art as the paintbrush.

Local artist, Emerenne Saefkow, chose colors that she associated with Smithers; orange being the color of the Town of Smithers and the blues and greens depict the beautiful landscape.

You will find this mural on the exterior wall of the Smithers Visitor Centre, 1411 Court St. Smithers, BC, Canada V0J 2N3
