Vancouver Artists Transforming Robson Street

Vancouver artists are transforming Robson Street in Vancouver by painting on boarded up storefronts.  The Downtown Vancouver BIA and Vancouver Mural Festival have enlisted the artists to create a more positive environment.  The storefronts have been boarded up due to an increase in commercial break-ins due to the pandemic.
